Shahira Knight, who previously served as a deputy assistant to the President and the deputy director of the National Economic Council, will replace Marc Short as director the legislative affairs, the White House announced Thursday.
Short is set to depart the White House by July 20 to work for a private D.C. consulting firm, Guidepost Strategies, as well as a senior fellow and professor at the University of Virginia’s business school, Politico was first to report.
He’ll join the business school on Aug. 1.
“Will the next dignity wraith please step forward?”
Its a revolving door for wraiths.
I wondered who Charles Koch was going to tap to replace his boy Marc Short as his legislative liaison in the White House. Asked and answered. Koch Industries is among Ms. Knight’s premier clients, and she was key in ushering old Charles’ tax plan through Congress last year. Now, of course, having created such huge deficits that they can no longer “pay for” the safety net, Congress needs help in shattering it and crushing it to dust under their feet: and Ms. Knight, the Koch liaison, will no doubt provide invaluable assistance.
Just when you think we’ve run out of the best people.
Guidepost Strategies. As in “godly” strategies? Boy, Donald really is slathering on the religion.
