Locke Looking Like Less Of a Lock

The rumored successor to Bill Richardson and Judd Gregg as the next doomed Commerce Secretary nominee is former Washington Governor Gary Locke.

Lest you worry that Locke has his own closeted deal-breakers, the Washington Post assures us:

Locke is regarded as a safe choice by senior officials in the Obama administration given his long history in public life, his strait-laced reputation and his bipartisan governing credentials.

And lest you believe the Washington Post, Michelle Malkin disabuses us of the fantasy of Locke's straight laces.

Money laundering, illegal campaign contributions, pay-for-play scandals... this guy's the whole package.
