Put On Your Big Girl Panties Because Margaret Spellings Talks Dirty!

That admonition about “big girl panties” is apparently a key part of U.S. Ed Secretary Margaret “Earth Mother” Spellings’ approach to management — The product placement opportunities for Victoria’s Secret are countless! That gem, plus much more, from one of the more colorful profiles of a cabinet secretary to come along in a while…Guess Joe Williams wasn’t kidding about those glasses…

Would be nice, of course, if more than episodically she’d tell a lot of the NCLB whiners to put on their big girl panties and get serious about helping minority kids but that may be too much to hope for…

In any event, it’s another indication of the clear success of President Bush’s campaign to change the tone in Washington. I surely never associated Dick Riley with panties, “big girl” or otherwise.
