The Peter Principle is alive and well even in a Republican Administration.

I say fire everyone in the State Department who has been there over six years!

I have a close friend who sent in for her renewal four months ago. She leaves for Europe in two weeks. It isn’t back. How dumb can the government get? Require passports for countries that tons of Americans go to but that never required passports before and not hire adequate cover? On top of that promote this idiot. He should be fired. He has caused aggrivation or worse for at least hundreds of thousands of Americans.

I'll help you out, LOL. That "certain look" you can't place is undoubtedly that of a career vacant-head liberal firmly embedded in government bureaucracy.

She's the perfect illustration for number 24 of Rush Limbaugh's "List of Thirty-Five Undeniable Truths" about the Left":

"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society."

...That’s why she’s being promoted - she has been VERY good for the bottom line...

Bingo! We have a winnah!

F up and move up.

My tagline is appropriate. Blackbird.

Maura Harty may be in charge of our ‘free’ health insurance soon ?

Coincidence is when God wants to remain anonymous.

Maura Harty’s poor decision making comes at the best possible time to illustrate to all what will happen if the current Immigration “reform” act is passed.

The Harty Factor. I like it.

Good reminder that, even in incompetence, we can be tools for good. And Lord knows, Maura Harty is a tool.

LOL, that is so true. A background check and application processed in 24 hours? Uh, what country did you say you come from? El Salvador? Uh, how long would it take for our government to request your records from your government? What? There is no records department? Well then, do you have a SSN? Tax ID? OK, how about a friend from El Salvador that will vouch for you as a good person? Oh, great then. That will do. Here’s your Z-VISA. Now, give me a quarter pounder meal with a chocolate shake please.

Yes I saw that. Isnt it a damned shame that you can send 60 bucks to the government and get the service that you should be entitled to for nothing?

How many people are waiting patiently for their passports while they express the people who sent them their bribe?

IMO it should be illegal to even ask for this Mordida.

She was working way above her pay grade which should have been about GS 03.

“F up and move up.”

Exactly the way it happened at the State Department with the incompetent employee who approved some of the 9/11 terrorists’ VISA applications. She received a bonus!

If it wasn’t so serious, we could call it the Harty-har-har Factor.
