Obama To Appoint Lesbian To Senior Role In Administration

Speaking on the condition of anonymity two transition team officials leaked President-elect Obama's pick for White House Council on Environmental Quality: Nancy Sutley, Deputy Mayor of L.A. and "prominent member of the gay and lesbian community."

[Sutley] previously served on the California State Water Resources Control Board, which is responsible for protecting water quality and resources throughout the state, and was the energy adviser to former Gov. Gray Davis. During President Bill Clinton's administration, Sutley was an EPA official, including being a special assistant to the EPA administrator in Washington.

Also worth noting: "Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize winning physicist, appears to be increasingly on track to become energy secretary."

This just keeps getting better and better.
