    I can’t believe Mr. Gonzales is still drawing a salary. I can believe that Mr. Bush has delegated this new responsibility to someone. Delegation to Mr. Bush means “Gone!” I am surprised that so little attention has been given to Mr. Bush’s administrative ability. He’s got to be the worst when it comes to follow up and detail. All he needs is a PR sound bite that everything will be done. Like the Katrina response.

    The quality of Mr. Bush’s choice of appointments [see Gonzales above – I rest my case] leaves little hope that things get done ethically and/or efficiently.
    Nothing happens that we or Congress hears about. It’s all classified. What a scam.
