What about the 152 waivers of security approval by John F. Kennedy? Were these people so outstandingly brilliant that no one could take their place? Or were they political hacks and cronys?

It took a lot of brilliance to give us the bay of pigs and the Cuban Missile crisis.

The ridiculous term ' THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST ", which the media flung at JFK and the members of his administration was, like the " CAMELOT " crap, all made up out of thin air.

Of course there were others, some, I dare say, far MORE qualified, but not given the jobs. Yes, payback, cronyism, hacks, and old man Kennedy's paybacks.

More currently, what about the hundreds of Clinton appointees that started serving in the White House in sensetive jobs requiring secret or top secret clearances that never were passed by the FBI and were kept on by Clinton anyway?

Didn't Gary Aldridge expose this in "Unlimited Access"? I remember it was a huge flap at the time - someone help me refresh my memory.
