New DHS Nominee: Not What She Knows, But Who She Knows

[JABBS]

"(U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency Nominee) Julie Myers does know people in all the right places. She was chief of staff to Chertoff in the Justice Department, associate under Kenneth W. Star, special assistant to Bush on personnel issues, recently married to Chertoff's current chief of staff John F. Wood, and is the niece of (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) Gen. Richard B. Myers.

Myers largest management experience comes from her time at Commerce, where she oversaw 170 employees and a $25 million budget; ICE (the second-largest investigative agency in the federal government) has more than 20,000 employees and a budget of approximately $4 billion."

:sarcasm:

2. Don't the real Republicans understand

that they should not be in in the same party as these clowns?

3. Maybe now?

I don't know. :shrug:

4. I'm not sure there are enough real Republicans left

to make a difference. I'm talking old-school, fiscally conservative, rock-ribbed conservatives. Do they make up even 3% of the populace anymore?

Republicans now all fall into one or more of three categories: Greedy, Racist, and/or Religiously Insane.
