I keep waiting for some very important things to happen. We are almost a year into this administration - in a war - as you have so eloquently pointed out and I'm concerned about the length of time to fill the political appointments. That means I am hot as napalm with Joe Biden and his committee stalling judicial appointments and I am hot as heck about the slow pace with which the administration has put forward their nominees.
I think the Whitehouse got suprised on this one. In the WH's desire for 'loyalty' purity they sacrificed the political capital to push through their appointments. Then when traitor Jeffords switched they lost more ground. The summer was squandered and now we're in a war. I wrote about it a month ago and the problem is still there. At some point somebody in the Whitehouse is going to have to start spending some of this 90% favorability rating to get the people in to the jobs they have won via the election.
Why do we have Clinton Appointee's enforcing Bush Administration policies or failing to!. Than when a disaster strikes, i.e. the Klamath River debacle, the NW Firefighters death via the lack of aerial water support, the total failure of the INS, etc. etc. etc. - those disasters are written off as truly belonging to the previous administration.
When do we get the government we elected?
When do we get the full accountability for both good and bad that happens to land on one desk? I think GW has done an absolutely marvelous job as President. IMHO he is probably being truly guided by his prayer life. Cheney may be the best VP in my lifetime. Laura Bush is easily the best First Lady. Having proudly said those kudo's I think the RINO's that run congress are a tremendous threat to our liberty. The RINO's within the administration and the Clinton appointees that continue to hold Key positions in this administration are doubly troublesome to me. Because they are painted as belonging to W and they daily act and administer as if belonging to Clinton.
The rabid Bush supporters reject any form of criticism and the security bust and decisions that embarrass the administration continue.
When the administration tries for treason the democratic congressional staffers, Clinton appointees, and other undesirables for their leaks to the press and terrible judgement I will be comfortable that the adults that are in office have not left the keys to the car with the teenagers from the previous administration.
I am anxious for that to happen. After all - there's a war on!

I also think that Mr. Rove & Co. need to remember that they're no longer running a campaign; they're helping their boss run a country.
