Nerd Ironic: Peter R. Orszag

Nerd Ironic: Peter R. Orszag
Is nerd ironic in for 2009? Browsing through the New York Times' Obama's People gallery we were struck (rather hard) by Peter R. Orszag, the new OMB director, who seems to be putting us on. Kind of a Robert Carradine attire/accessorization with a Boy Wonder stance. So over-the-top it has to be by design.

More to come on President-elect Obama's inauguration on Monday.
