A politician who said politicians shouldn’t run NASA wants to run NASA
From Ars Technica:
"On Monday, a rumor that has simmered in Washington for several weeks boiled to the surface—that former US Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat from Florida, is a leading contender to become the next NASA administrator."

Curious. Probably just click bait, since Bill Nelson is also known for being an astronaut first, before becoming a politician. Maybe he'd be a good choice?

Re: A politician who said politicians shouldn’t run NASA wants to run NASA
IMHO Over half of NASA's problems start on Capitol Hill so he isn't necessarily a bad choice.
At the very least, when some congress-critter calls him to jerk NASA around, he could answer the phone with, 'Hey Bob! How are the wife and kids? Now what can I do for you?"

Any metaphor will tear if stretched over too much reality.
