Natalie Portman Gets Tapped

When I saw the headline, “Bush Taps Portman As New Budget Director,” I thought it odd that Natalie Portman would have been given the nod for OMB. While it would have been a bold move, she is not really qualified for the job, Harvard degree or not. And she’s not exactly one of the president’s biggest fans.

It turns out that it is Rob Portman. No relation of which I’m aware.

Update: Kevin Aylward had the same reaction, plus worked in some suggestive double entendre involving the word “tapped” and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
