ANOTHER PERPLEXING BUSH APPOINTMENT
The point is, if the guy believes in leprachauns, St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland or that Genesis is the literal history of the creation of earth, what’s that got to do with his ability to count, manage people and make appropriate business and administrative decisions?
I guess you're right. As long as we're removing general competence and respect for spheres of knowledge from our criteria for accepting someone in high position, there's no reason Bush can't appoint some nutcase who thinks basic science is wrong...and is also willing to indoctrinate young students with his lies. For that matter, felonious conduct, prostitution, or pedophilia also shouldn't be obstacles to employment in the Bush administration--they're all irrelevant to the applicant's ability to "count, manage people and make appropriate business and administrative decisions"; why, they might even be plusses to Bush-style management!
