Although it has received scant
attention, one of the central figures involved the Solyndra scandal may
be Missy Owens, the niece of Vice President Joe Biden.
Missy, whose real name is Valerie
James Owens, is the Energy Department's deputy Chief of Staff. She
served in that capacity when the Solyndra $535 million loan guarantee
was approved.
Owens' name is on a number of
e-mails and documents about Solyndra, including a September 2009
DOE "Events Memo." The memo starts by
quoting the Vice President who predicted the Solyndra loan guarantee
would be regarded as "the foundation of our 21st century economy." Owens
was involved in the timing of the groundbreaking ceremony that got the
Vice President to extol the virtues of the company.
Politics in the Biden world is a
family affair. Owens' mother, Valerie Biden Owens is the Vice
President's sister. She ran political campaigns for her brother
Joe. Missy also served as a campaign manager for her brother Joe
"Beau" Biden.
Rep. Cliff Stearns, chairman of
the House Oversight and Investigation subcommittee will be leading a
number of hearings in November on the Solyndra affair. At this
time it appears DOE will not provide Missy Owens as a witness.

Some of Joe Biden's
recent statements seem to suggest the beginnings of a
dementia-caused decline in memory and other thinking skills. Look at
his recent Hyde Amendment kerfuffle. For forty years, Biden
supported the Hyde amendment then flip-flopped. All politicians
flip-flop, and it is not an indication of brain problems.
