Um…No

Waveflux asks (via CNN, whose poll on this question I can no longer find) asks “Would you pass the vetting process for a political appointment?”

Let me put it this way. Many years ago, in my single and childless days (as a parent, I now officially have no past), I made a joking reference to a past indescretion of mine, saying to a friend of mine “I hope that doesn’t come up at my senate confirmation hearing.”

My friend immediately set me straight. “Honey,” he said “you are not going to have a senate confirmation hearing, okay? You will be the person they bring into the confirmation hearing to bring someone else down.

Suffice it to say, no, I would not make it past the vetting process. I wouldn’t even make it onto the short list. In fact, after one background check, I might suddenly “disappear.”
