Streak's Blog: Thursday rant Streak pretty much wrote the post that I had been pondering for a bit. In short, no wait, in summation... in order to get promoted in the Bush administration you need be only one thing: a loyalist. Being competant and honest is very optional, maybe even detrimental. Just ask Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke, or Joe Wilson. Let's go over this once again. Say you have a guy who hates the UN and jokes about the UN building losing 10 floors (not really funny anymore)? Well, of course, you make him ambassador to the UN. What about a lawyer who says that the US doesn't have to adhere to the Geneva Conventions and suggests that the President can authorize torture if he wants? Of course, you make him Attorney General so he can go after the porn industry. How about someone who oversaw intelligence failure after intelligence failure? You make her Secretary of State. Yeah, what he said. I need to start thinking faster. It really is like living in a funhouse hall of mirrors, especially when you still have people fixated on the Dan Rather non-story. Hello? The documents were never actually proven to be fake, just as they were never proven to be authentic. The appearance of impropriety and sloppy factchecking got the network in trouble. But please, tell me something I didn't already know. |
