In the Proud Tradition of Brownie

Bush fills another seat with someone who is utterly unfit for the job. Ever wonder if maybe Bush just has more faith than the rest of us on folks' ability to learn on the job? On the other hand, I'm not that comfortable with people making national decisions learning on the job. I'd like to think those folks had a bit of experience going in.

But back to the new post, all hail Julie L. Myers. Bush is moving Ms. Myers up from her job as the president's special assistant for personnel to heading the bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, (which has 15,000 employees and a budget of about $4 billion). Well done Ms. Myers. From special assistant to personnel to running Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And before you ask, no, she has no experience in running such a bureau anywhere in her resume. But she has been a special assistant for personnel.

I nominate Julie L. Myers for the "Heckuv a Job You've Been Doing There" award for 2006 (under the hope that please, PLEASE, let there not be anyone given a job who is even less qualified for it).

when even Michelle Malkin screams "crony", you know that the W has gone very far to "reward" a pal or in this case the daughter and wife of pals.

By now it should be pretty clear what the priorities are in the Dept of Homeland Security and they're definitely not our safety.

One would think that a mishandled disaster that ended with thousands dead and displaced, and a major US city destroyed would have put a spotlight on the dangers of appointing unqualified people, but this is the surreal world in which we live these days, it doesn't. So appointing positions in the absence of Congress is the way of the weasel.
