"...am I going to guarantee the American people that only the best and the brightest serve in this incredibly important body of the Department of Transportation..."

Sean Duffy says the "best and brightest" are going to serve in the administration.

And other administration nominees include Pete Hegsworth, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabardi, and JFK's Relative.

My only reaction any more to any of the shit coming from the OrangeFace BabyPants party is "JFC".

My father was a pilot decades ago. "flight deck" was commonly used even back in the 70s. The choice to use "cockpit" or "flight deck" seemed to be based on a general feeling about size. If it was small, cramped, and difficult to get in and out of your seat, it was called a cockpit, but as they became a bit more spacious were more commonly called flight decks.

Ya know, why not be an alternative Tapper and go "That's such an absurd comment you just made that we're not even gonna talk about it. We like to keep it real and relevant here on CNN, and not entertain such sophomoric statements about what we call the place on the plane where the pilots sit". Aaaaaand... BOOM!

Instead of cockpit, I propose they go the the more manly term: Penis Pit.

Hmmm... what shall we call the Oval Office for the time being? How about the "Oral Orifice"?

It we had to have a Real World doof in charge of transportation, couldn’t we at least have gotten Puck? He at least could ride a bike.

And he also had a fling with Rachel Campos.

When Stalin allowed his crazy commissars to purge the Red Army's officer corps, he weakened the army to the point where it collapsed in the initial stages of Nazi Germany's offensive.

The only reason Stalin and the USSR survived is because Stalin eventually listened less to the commissars and more to the generals who actually knew what they were talking about. I don't think Trump is smart or rational enough to do the equivalent.

Every now and again Evil Jake Tapper goes on vacation and Good Jake Tapper takes his place. I wish it happened more often.

I once participated in a citizen lobbying day in DC. I got to talk personally with Duffy. My main take a way from the talk was that a lobotomized chimpanzee is more intelligent than Duffy.

After looking into the etymology of the word "cockpit" I find that it really has no real connection to human gender.

It's the pit in which roosters fought in the "sport" of cockfighting.

It's got nothing to do with weenies, except in the mind of fragile boymen like Duffy, for whom everything is about weenies.

Pete Hegseth should change aircraft carrier nomenclature from "Flight Deck" to "Cock Deck". And what's the deal with referring to military ships and aircraft as "she"? It's that sort of DEI nonsense that costs lives and loses wars.

Sean doesn't have a clue who David Halberstam was or why "best and brightest" isn't a compliment.

Is Duffy really the best person for this job or is he a DEI hire?

I always thought pilots and air traffic controllers used their HANDS AND FINGERS to work the controls and fly the aircraft! I had no idea that penises were the only tool that really did the job! Do they have to slap them on the table and measure 'em to see who does which job?

Can they even manspread properly in those pilot seats?
