Another Sucky Unqualified Connected Bush Nominee (Immigration/Customs):

Sept. 19, 2005, 11:31PM

Immigration post nominee's credentials questioned
Critics claim the lawyer doesn't have the experience to head the agency
By DAN EGGEN and SPENCER S. HSU
Washington Post
...
Concerns over Myers, 36, were acute enough at a Senate hearing last week that lawmakers asked the nominee to detail during her testimony her postings and to account for her management experience. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, went so far as to tell Myers that her resume indicates she is not qualified for the job.
...
After working as a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, N.Y., for two years, Myers held a variety of jobs over the past four years at the White House and at the departments of Commerce, Justice and Treasury, though none involved managing a large bureaucracy. Myers worked briefly as chief of staff to Michael Chertoff when he led the Justice Department's criminal division before he became Homeland Security secretary.

Myers also was an associate under independent counsel Kenneth Starr for about 16 months and has most recently served as a special assistant to President Bush handling personnel issues.

Her uncle is Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She married Chertoff's current chief of staff, John Wood, on Saturday.

5. Her husband, John F. Wood, does not inspire confidence either
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/24/AR2005052401363.html

For his inner circle, Chertoff named as his chief of staff John F. Wood, who largely will handle Homeland Security's day-to-day operations. Previously, he was counselor to then-Attorney General John D. Ashcroft, overseeing the civil, civil rights, antitrust, environment and tax divisions. In 2002 and 2003, Wood helped craft major legislative and regulatory policies as deputy general counsel of the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Before that, Wood helped run Justice Department's civil litigation work. From 1997 to 1998, he clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and from 1998 to 2001 he worked at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis.
