McCain Wants Ballmer For His Cabinet

Posted by kdawson on from the throwing-chairs-at-the-chinese dept.

While many people jumped all over presidential hopeful John McCain's wrong-headed view on network neutrality, few noticed his infuriating love for Microsoft. "[T]he 70 year old presidential hopeful also said that he would ask Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to serve on his cabinet to deal with technology issues if elected. He did not however say what position Ballmer might be hired in, but did joke that he might consider him for a diplomatic position, such as ambassador to China."

    McCain keeps weighing in on the wrong side of every issue.

    There are some issues that the only people who care about them are ones that will cost you votes if you choose wrong. McCain seems to have an unnatural ability to zero in on those issues and to pick the wrong side.

    Abortion, gun control, campaign finance reform and net neutrality are all kicking McCain's ass.
