. . . it seems Slate's Tim Noah got it right back in late 2003, in "Bush's Mr. Cellophane". Noah observed that when Martinez left HUD to run for the Senate seat vacated by Bob Graham, Dubya held a press conference wherein:

Bush did not mention any programs that Martinez created or administered during the three years he was parked at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. That was entirely appropriate, since Martinez didn't do anything worth remembering.

This reminded Noah of the lines "Mr. Cellophane" from the musicial Chicago:

'Cause you can look right through me,
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there …

That's our Mel, not quite there; never quite knowing what is happening around him. </snip>

good review of more specific instances of Martinez complete failure to take responsibility for anything--shameless repuke "clueless" good ole boy--Florida Politics blog:

voters didn't see this pathetic loser coming a mile away? geesh!
he HAD to have had Mr. Die Bold helping him, I remember how obvious he was when he was smearing Bill McCollum. but OH NO, we gotta get the repuke slimeball --

And never mind voting for him, who would be DUMB enough to be on his staff??! are they hypnotized or something, knowing any one of them might have to fall on a sword or two at some point, watching how he operates?! DUMB@$$es!!
