Word: Obama's Ebola czar

Keith Koffler,  Washington Dossier - President Obama named veteran Democratic political operative and former White House staffer Ron Klain to take over the federal response to Ebola.

Ron KlainKlain was chief of staff for both former Vice President Gore and current Vice President Biden. He served as a Democratic staffer in the Senate. He helped lead the Florida recount effort for Al Gore against George W. Bush. He helped Obama prep for the 2008 debates and did the same for John Kerry in 2004. He currently works for AOL-minted zillioniare Steve Case.

He knows as much as you do about Ebola. He doesn’t even know anything about medicine, except as it relates, I assume, to whatever procedures he’s had.

And judging by the outcomes of his previous high profile positions, he doesn't seem to know a whole lot about real politics. The Gore and Kerry campaigns were both absolute farces given that each wasn't so much about having to win, but rather, not messing up and losing.

I'm sure he'll do a heckuva job.
