REGARDING BUSH APPOINTMENTS: EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE ARE HIGHLY OVERRATED

This TBogg post is too good not to share with my friend Sally, who's a regular reader and loves good sarcasm:

You have to give them credit for consistency in that they have again chosen inner circle over experience. In the Bush Administration you don't need experience or a solid background to take on any job as long as you exibit the correct ideology. You're a National Security Advisor whose specialty is a country that doesn't exist anymore? What could go wrong? Don't know anything about emrgency services? So what? Take a seat at FEMA. The Pentagon tells you that you need more forces on the ground to invade Iraq and different armor to protect them? What do those staff pukes know? Morning after pill? Intelligent Design? Global Warming? Science is soooo overrated.

Absolute certainty trumps reality everytime. Or hadn't you noticed?
