There Ought to be a Law

...so Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards wants to enact what he calls "Brownie's Law" requiring that qualified people, not political hacks, lead key government agencies.

"It's an absolute travesty to have people who are essentially political hacks in a very responsible position," Edwards is quoted as saying.

And it is a law that is needed. Especially after some of the bozo political hacks Bush has appointed. Loyalty to the Throne is more important than knowledge in Bushie's fucked up world.

"Brownie" of course refers to Michael Brown, who was head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency when Katrina struck in 2005. In one of the most surreal moments of a surreal administration, Brown was forced to resign shortly after Bush praised him publicly saying: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job". Meanwhile devastated New Orleans was in total breakdown and Brown was more concerned how he looked on TV. It was shameful.

Then we have the now resigned Alberto Gonzales, who was supported by no one but Bush. He finally left after totally fucking up the Justice Department...and Bush supported him to the end.

So, if you can't trust someone to appoint competent leaders in government, I guess you need a law. I sure support that one.
