"Republicans and Democrats alike had demanded his resignation over the botched handling of FBI terror investigations and the firings of U.S. attorneys, but President Bush had defiantly stood by his Texas friend until accepting his resignation Friday."
With all due respect, Mr. President, I have nothing against Texans, but there are other very well qualified people here in the United States (oops, I mean the rest of the United States -- I just couldn't help myself) with which to fill government posts.
I see in the first post that speculation is that Michael Chertoff, Director of Homeland Security will replace Gonzales and that Clay Johnson will replace Chertoff.
"Johnson, a longtime friend of Bush, served as the president's chief of staff and appointments secretary when Bush was governor of Texas and was executive director of the Bush-Cheney transition team."
Is it really necessary to be a long time friend of the President to be competent, or is what we are seeing a President taking care of his political pals?
Agree or disagree, it's a legitimate question in my opinion.
