...a man who was proven to be unqualified for the job of Attorney General got it anyway and made a complete mess of things. Judged by performance in office, it is only slightly hyperbolic to say that Gonzales is to the Justice Department and to the Constitution what former FEMA chief Michael Brown was to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. President Bush Wednesday stood by his old friend "Al." At least this time, he didn't say "heckuva job."-Andrew Cohen, concluding his superb three-part series in the Washington Post on the case against Alberto Gonzales.
We can take Cohen's argument back to the very beginning. George W. Bush was nowhere near qualified to be president, yet America saw fit to give him the job (twice!). The unqualified chief executive then placed unqualified people in key adminstration posts and we are now in one hell of a mess.
Cohen's series is definately worth your time...
Part 1 is here.
Part 2 is here.
Part 3 is here.
Say it with me: The. Worst. Administration. Ever.
Update: So who should replace Gonzales should he resign or be fired? Andrew Cohen has an excellent idea in part 4 of his Post series.
