Reply #36: When I googled Myers found even Michelle Malkin considered

[RamboLiberal]

her unqualified for the job and this was nothing but nepotism! Aren't you glad the grownups are in charge? :sarcasm: 440 more days of Chimpy and his circus of idiots!

Her appointment was opposed on both the left and by such far right scions as Michelle Malkin, because her appointment, despite her youth and lack of experience, was a clear case of nepotism, in the tradition of former FEMA head Michael Brown, an unqualified lawyer and horse showing association official from Colorado, who bungled the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.

Myers is as a 37 year old lawyer who previously headed the 170 employee federal government office with a $25 million budget, in charge of cracking down on international money laundering in the Commerce Department. ICE has 20,000 employees, a $4 billion budget, and involves matters of immigration and customs enforcement that Myers has little experience handling prior to taking the top job.

Many observers believe that a bigger factor in her appointment was her status as niece of Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and wife of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff's chief of staff, John F. Wood. Also important may have been the face time she had in front of the President as an assistant handling his personal affairs, and her established partisan loyalty as associate under independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr.
