Any Bush nominee to any post steps up to the plate with an 0-2 count.

The abysmal lack of expertise at the highest levels of FEMA has been exposed. I read an article today that stated another former bushCo flack holds a HS position of utmost importance at Newark International Airport ( I am having trouble locating the link, but I will keep looking).

How many more of the president's appointees have absolutely NO qualifications for the jobs they hold?

In my opinion, this reflects on his nomination of Roberts and should become part of the debate. The Democrats MUST expose every incompetent bushCo has appointed and use it to tell the public that bush cannot be trusted to make appointments to the Supreme Court.

Roberts must NOT be confirmed, even if it means the process must be filibustered. Let bush make recess appointments to the court until we can get the bastard impeached. Then we can get the court back on track, with the next president.

1. Don't make Joe Lieberman wave his finger at you!

The DLC senators say we have to choose our fights wisely. Cant go around blaming. Got to move along. Stop being such a bleeding heart liberal.

The DLC senators will not fight for us, because they are not us. They'll get to keep their pensions on our dime. They'll get to keep their health care on our dime. They'll continue to get their raises on our dime. They won't risk losing it by voting against Roberts or any other racist, sexist, homophobic s.o.b. that Bush will shove down our throats.

They'll gladly trade away all our rights because it our dime their spending.

They are as arrogant as the Roman Senators of old, looking down on us plebes. Except they wont even give us Bread and Circuses. Just death, taxes and imminent domain.

I hate them all.

God Damn Bush for who he is and God Damn the DLC senators for not fighting him.

How does a North Carolina magazine publisher become ambassador to Finland? Ask Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, President Bush's pick for the post.

McElveen-Hunter is the founder and chief executive officer of Pace Communications, one of the largest female-owned companies in the country. But it wasn't her publishing experience that got her the job in Helsinki. It was her financial support of the Bush campaign.

McElveen-Hunter was reported to be one of just 15 people who raised more than $1 million for Bush's presidential run. She headed Bush's effort to raise money from women, a campaign called "W is for Women."

She personally gave $102,750 to Republican candidates and party committees during the campaign, including $100,000 in soft money to the Republican National Committee. She also contributed $5,000 to the Bush-Cheney recount effort.

Prior to helping Bush, McElveen-Hunter was the chief fund-raiser for Elizabeth Dole's presidential campaign.

*Figures represent contributions from the individual and his/her immediate family in 1999-2000. Total includes donations made to Republican candidates and party committees, as well as the Bush-Cheney recount fund, transition foundation, and inauguration committee.
