Woohoo for Duers! My kid is funny.

My kid just called with a crossword question:
"I have one you should know, who was the Transportation Secretary under Clinton, 4 letters?"

I mean, I know I've been active in politics during the last 10 yrs, and the kid knows how much time I've spent on DU, and all that I have learned, but what? I "should know" this? OK. Well, hate to disappoint kid but I had to look it up.

Thank you DU for being here, thank you DUers for working together. Thanks for spreading good info, even though it may not be about every cabinet secretary under clinton.

ps. I did google and found Pena. I was amused that he thought I should just know!

3. He was our neighbor

And when he got caught with the girlfriend and all, the whole neighborhood rallied around him, screwing with the fucking reporters who camped outside his house.

5. Pena was the long term former Denver mayor, who "built" DIA--

the last and only major airport to be built in the past two decades.

He's a good guy, one of the original and most dedicated Obama supporters- though he worked in the Clinton administration.-
