Bush picks a new HUD secretary
You may or may not, considering the sheer volume of things coming out of the administration, know that the previous HUD secretary had recently decided to leave public office and *cough* spend more time with his family.
In response to his earlier mistake of appoint a complete fucking retard to run a $40 odd Billion a year federal agency like HUD, Bush lept into action and appointed someone with absolutely no housing experience what so ever
None, not a bit, zero housing experience. He was the head of the Small Business Administration. That I can't think of anything in the news about the SBA in the last few years means at least that he knew how to not fuck that agency up anymore than it was, if not possibly, or impossibly in the case of this administration, improve it. And by most accounts the dude is a competent manager.
But he knows nothing about housing.
The sheer number of unqualified politically appointed hacks in this administration is just amazing. The biggest fucking hack of all of course is the vice president, and he's set the tone for the entire administration. Not even Nixon was this incompetent or stupid. Nixon was a lot of things, a real right bastard the least among them, but at least he was smart enough to put smart partisan people in charge of shit instead of complete idiots.
But this administration has always been, form Day One, about keeping power centralized in the White House. Put someone in charge of something they know something about and they might do something on their own, or worse yet, not do what the White House tells them to do, and even worse still say publicly why they didn't do it. You know, tell the truth.
I won't even get into the clear and orchestrated assault on science for base political purposes by this administration.
No one, no one, has ever stacked an administration like this. I mean, maybe sometime way back in the freaking 1800's when men were men and cattle were scared and the really old skool good old boys network was still in power, but still, I bet they were still either smart enough to run things to their advantage or the incompetence was on a much smaller scale, or at least just not as orchestrated and purposely implemented.
275 days.
