Nooooo.... *I* was the one that suggested that the fact that the WH Press Secretary is the son of one of W's old crony's from Texas smacks of favoritism, especially since he isn't very good at the job.
Most of us believe the Harrie Miers nomination was nothing but cronyism, as well as Paige, Rove, uh.... Julie Myers, uh... come on folks, help me out here.
DUH – that’s why I directed my question to you.

Most of us? Who is us?
To call the fact that the President surrounds himself with people he knows and trusts “cronyism and favoritism” is disingenuous at best. Every president, in fact, most effective management, will do the same.
You don't like the people Dubya chooses - we get it! I love most of the people Dubya has assigned (Rummy, Cheney, Condi, Peter Pace), so I trust his judgment.
You'll really have trouble selling the cronyism argument after the Impeached Rapist's reign - where they had to lessen security requirements just to get most of them clearances. Then what happened? Sandy Berger, John Deutch, Janet Reno, Bill Richardson and the classified nuclear disks. And let's not forget Bernie Schwarz (sp?) and Loral. THAT'S cronyism!
Makes your anger over inarticulate McLellan, light-on-the-resume Miers and a mean ol' hurricane look pretty trivial, doesn't it?
