Abstract

They called me Sisyphus at the White House. While bearing no resemblance to the Greek king of Corinth who rolled boulders up a mountain in Hades, I pushed nominees up Capitol Hill, helping them win Senate confirmation. And like Sisyphus, my work often came cascading back over me, in the form of delayed hearings, stalled nominees and requests for additional information from Congress.
