Is a former * debate prepper qualified to be deputy sec. of HHS?

[babylonsister]

I guess he is now. Here's another example of hiring someone totally lacking in the skills necessary to perform this job. Surprised, anyone?

New HHS deputy secretary is Bush’s former debate prepper.

Tevi David Troy’s main qualifications: “Troy had primary responsibility for debate preparation in President Bush’s re-election campaign. He also has served as the president’s liaison to the Jewish community. He began working in the Bush administration at the Labor Department.” He has also written for National Review and the Weekly Standard.

He had Bush to work with and got him through the debates and into the Whitehouse. He should be sainted...

3. the veteranarian they appointed for women's health

was another high point of conservative qualification

5. Was he the one speaking into the receiver in Bush's ear?

This is yet more proof (as if any were needed) that loyalty to the regime comes before competence in this administration.

6. That depends on the administration:

in this administration, such a person is probably over-qualified -- compared to the dopes available. Why, he probably didn't even go to Regents Law School. ;-)

In any genuine administration: none of those blockheads are qualified.
