Who is Sally Jewell? or... What could possibly go wrong?

You might not see this bit of background [on our new Secretary of the Interior] in the mainstream media, as it comes from Michelle Malkin (Jewish World Review, May 18, 2011):

As I've documented since last fall, waiver-mania started with McDonald's and Jack in the Box; spread to Dish Networks, hair salon chain Regis Corp and resort giant Universal Orlando; took hold among every major Big Labor organization from the AFL-CIO to the CWA to the SEIU; roped in the nationalized health care promoters at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (whose board of trustees includes health care czar Nancy Ann DeParle); and is now gripping entire states (Maine, New Hampshire and Nevada all recently got in on the act).

The latest to catch the waive? West Coast liberals.

Another noteworthy waiver winner: Seattle-based REI. The trendy Pacific Northwest outdoor equipment retailer's progressive CEO and Democratic campaign donor, Sally Jewell, appeared with President Obama in 2009 to tout White House health care reform initiatives. Two years later, REI snagged a waiver to protect the health benefits of a whopping 1,180 workers from the very tentacles of the big government bureaucrats Jewell embraced at Obama's roundtable.

And in case you've forgotten...

Defining liberalism: Always willing to give people the clothes off of other people's back, only sacrificing when convenient for themselves. Rules are for the little people, the bitter clingers who didn't build that.
