Frank Lucas at USDA?

Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK 3) is apparently on a list of candidates to replace Ann Veneman at the Department of Agriculture.

Lucas has announced that he's "not holding his breath," but at least he has some plausible credentials for the job: he's on the House Agriculture Committee, heads up the Subcommittee on Conservation, Credit, Rural Development, and Research, and when he's not in Washington he actually farms (and grazes cattle) in rural Roger Mills County.
