President Bush continues to do a heckuva job installing unqualified cronies in key government posts. Even though the Michael Brown debacle at the Federal Emergency Management Agency is still good for a few laughs on the Leno and Letterman shows, Bush may inject new life into late night TV monologues with his recent appointment of Ellen Sauerbrey to head the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration...

...The New York Times was a bit more blunt: "Ms. Sauerbrey has zero experience in emergency management and refugee resettlement."

Zero experience. That's an astounding benchmark, impossible to beat. There is no less-than-zero level of experience.

What kinds of disasters and refugee situations does the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration address? Rwanda. Darfur, Sudan. Kosovo. Iraq. Gaza Strip. Southeast Asia tsunami. Pakistan earthquake. It's the last place anyone wants to see a director with zero experience.

1. It is not the last place ANYONE wants to see a director

with zero experience.

Radical delusional extremist neo-cons intent on destroying any federal government assistant progam want to see a director with no experience in that place.

2. Amazing this crap of cronyism continues...more amazing its accepted

by the Stepford Pubs.

Bush has foisted cronys in the past and continues unabated. You would think he would learn by now...

His job is to protect America from Cronyism/ineptness with good appointees...especially in high posts... me thinks Bush is a crony himself...

3. He doesn't need to learn because he gets away with it every

single fucking time. I'm so sick of this shit I could scream.

4. His Base demands it I guess....so revealing about our Nation and its peeps

Far too many are ignorant and delusional as he is....

Come, we try fix it with Sanity and Reason...

5. I know you're right

I just get so discouraged when I read shit like this.

6. For Pukes, that's how it works

You don't have to have experience or knowledge if you've got the right connections, the right last name, etc. How do you think Bush got into college? The system for them has worked that way their whole lives, why are we all surprised that they function that way as adults as well?

8. Peterism run amok, OL

7. That's actually an improvement

Normally Dubya puts the fox in charge of the hen house eg. known polluters in charge of environmental concerns.
