Solyndra Quote of the Day

Johnathon Silver of the Department of Energy, when questioned by Representative Cliff Stearns of Florida about whether someone should be fired for approving the loans to Solyndra (source).

Rep. Cliff Stearns, Florida Republican and chairman of the House Energy and Commerce investigations subcommittee, pressed Mr. Silver on whether anybody should be fired.

“I’m saying we are doing the best job we know how to do,” Mr. Silver said, declining to answer the question.

Newsflash Mr. Silver: in the real world, people doing the best job they know how to do get fired with depressing regularity.
