This guy McCabe doesn't fart without a nod from the governor.

Could Jeb under the FL constitution just, like, kick McCabe out if he wished? If not, your line of criticism goes nowhere.

I predicate my observation on the norm for political appointees:
1) McCabe works directly for the 'system';
2) McCabe holds an appointed position;
3) McCabe does and doesn't at the will of his superiors - not independent of them.
