The MBA President Depletes His Capital.
Bush
has screwed up every area that compelled me to vote for him: national
security, fiscal discipline, judicial appointments, reduced regulation,
and governmental competence. His one minor achievement has been not to
degrade the Oval Office by cavorting with interns. But he has done
something that is more corrupting to the office and the political
culture: repeatedly hiring unqualified people that any objective person
can see are mere cronies. At least Clinton didn't reward Monica
Lewinsky with a high government office. Bush is disturbingly willing to
reward those who suck up to him with important government jobs, and it
is a small consolation that they don't literally s**k him off. [Republicans & Conservatives:]
