Looks like Georgie and the boys over at 1600 Penn haven't learned a damn thing from the Michael Brown debacle at FEMA. Now Dubya wants to put another political hack into a sensitive job at Homeland Security -- this time nominating an inexperienced bimbo named Julie Myers to head the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
Myers, a lawyer, has never managed a large bureaucracy and her primary claim to fame is a brief stint as chief of staff Michael Chertoff, the cretin Bush put in charge of Homeland Security, and 16 months working with Ken Starr on his laughable investigation of former President Bill Clinton.
Her real qualifications, if you can call them that, comes from birth and who she sleeps with: Her uncle is Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She married Chertoff's current chief of staff, John F. Wood, just this past Saturday.
Another crony in charge of protecting our nation's borders. Just what we don't need.
Whatever happened to "cheaters never prosper" and all those other old saws about making your way in life honestly–through talent and tenacity–not by ill-gotten shortcuts? And these are the people who want religion back in public institutions to "improve' the nation's moral character?
