A “Made-in-Hollywood”-Style Nomination from our (Apparently) Increasingly Detached (from Reality) President

A “Made-in-Hollywood”-Style Nomination from our (Apparently) Increasingly Detached (from Reality) President

Name a DOMESTIC issue that would be VERY HIGH on most people’s complaint list regarding President GW Bush?  (Not that Clinton or Bush#1 were any better on the same issue.)  Well, the issue I have in mind is the big I2 (Illegal Immigration).

Well, you may or may not be aware that the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) of yesteryear has been folded into the new gargantuan (and absurdly ineffective) Department of Homeland Security.  The division that deals with I2 is know as ICE (US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement).

Well, President Bush just nominated a cute young (age 38) lawyer who works in the White House and whose Daddy “just happens” to be the top-ranking man in uniform (Chairman, JCS, General Richard B. Myers).  Her name is Julie Myers – and her hubby “just happens” to be Homeland Security Department Secretary Michael Chertoff’s chief-of-staff.

So, here we have the department that is in charge of dealing with what is perhaps THE stickiest domestic problem our country faces – and one which is NOT unrelated to our ongoing struggle against terrorists, . . . .

And President Bush nominates a White House-employed pretty face with a famous Daddy (something she and the President have in common) and virtually ZERO qualifications for the job.

Was this nomination vetted by the staff of West Wing or Commander in Chief?

So egregiously bad is the President’s nomination, that CONSERVATIVES are blasting it (as are some liberals).  See here; here; here and here.  (Hat tip: NewsMax.com)

There is hope that this lady will soon be encouraged to “find a reason” to withdraw her name from consideration.

Please consider calling your Senators to tell them to OPPOSE this ludicrous nomination.
