The Bush administration is seeking to appoint a lawyer with little immigration or customs experience to head the troubled law enforcement agency that handles those issues, prompting sharp criticism from some employee groups, immigration advocates and homeland security experts.

The push to appoint Julie Myers to head the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, comes in the midst of intense debate over the qualifications of department political appointees involved in the sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina.

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.

3. That could be why they're gone for a month.

2. More unqualified flunkies
No experience necessary, just be an idiot who will do what Grand Wizard Bush says. This stuff is so bad, it's not even funny.

5. The insanity never ends with this administration.
Does that idiot (Bush) think it's all about pushing things to the point of when Daddy spanks him?
