Rick Hess's Glenn Beck Moment
The usually imperturbable Rick Hess is mysteriously bothered by Duncan's involvement in passing the health care bill in the house (Why Is the Secretary of Education Lobbying on the Healthcare Bill?), but I think he may just be having a Glenn Beck moment to worry that there's something improper or overly political about Duncan's making calls. That or he just woke up and needed something to say. Health care reform could be the best thing that ever happened to education, bigger than any conceivable version of RTTT or NCLB 2. It's narrow minded to think that education and health care aren't related, and overly proper to say that a Cabinet member can't help his President push legislation forward.
Wow. Partisan much? Tell us how you really feel because my child's education is all about political agendas and not parental rights.

"The best thing that ever happened to education"--are you trying to be as outlandish as Beck and Hess yourself? Yeah right.
