54 percent of Americans think President Bush values party loyalty and personal friendship over competence.
So, why was it a bad thing that Joseph Wilson got the assignment to Niger because of his wife's recommendation but it's a good thing that Harriet Miers got nominated to the Supreme Court because of the recommendation of her close personal friend, the President? Both seem equally well qualified or unqualified for their positions, yet the Bushbots loathe the first but worship the second. Also you forgot Julie Myers (General Myers' minimally qualified niece) for head of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) as one of the recent buddy appointments.
'nuff said.
Not quite. You left out Julie Myers.
"Mike Brown, Harriet Meiers [sic]."
This juxtaposition is extremely unfair. I certainly hope it is not an intentional distortion.
'nuff said, eh?
Mike Brown was so incompetent that FEMA handled FOUR major hurricanes last year - each of which caused more damage than any hurricane during the Clinton Administration. From what we see now, the main problem in NOLA was from the gross incompetence at the state and local level.
Miers may or may not pan out. But you're as quick to jump on inneundo as the MSM was during Katrina.
