ThinkProgress swoons over Obama's appointment of two 'former bloggers' to WH positions

Denis McDonough, a White House foreign policy adviser, has been tapped as the new White House chief of staff and deputy communications director Jennifer Palmieri will become the White House communications director.

What do President Centrist’s picks have in common? They’ve both guest-blogged at ThinkProgress, and the Soros monkeys couldn’t be more tickled. @ThinkProgress breathlessly tweeted out old posts written by the pair of appointees.
