Of course, had Obama stacked his administration with fresh faces from his Chicago connections, of if he had picked a bunch of people with no experience to fill the most important jobs in Washington, there would be an entirely different set of criticisms. If he's damned either way, I'd rather he be damned and have people in place who can be effective on day one. Or day seven, at this point, but you get the idea.

I did, however, like the "Dawn/ Don Johnson" bit. My wife has never been able to distinguish between Don and Dawn, and it drives me nuts.
