Heh heh.....:snap:

Dang...Too bad I am no good at office politics. ;)

I really don't doubt that cronyism is a large part of every administration, regardless of party.

True, CP.

With the former head of FEMA Michael Brown, I don't even think it was cronyism, unless cronyism is the same as a political payoff. Maybe it is.

But a lot of what is or could be defined as cronyism may not be. If I am President, do I go with the people I know? I know what they are capable of, what they beleive, and if they can do the job I want for them. Or do I go with unknowns who are recommended to me? I would probably opt to go with those I knew. I think anyone would.

I might suggest a definition of "crony" as an appointee whose financial contributions exceed their professional qualifications.

I think the defining factor is, are the people you know qualified. In the case of Brown, it certainly doesn't look like it. In the case of Miers, who the hell knows.

I suspect Harriet Meirs may be the first Supreme Court judge whose main qualification for the post was that she gives good greeting card. What a suck-up.:rolleyes:

I've no problem with what you say Scaeagles- to a large degree it's true. The problem is that one is likely to find themselves surrounded by sycophants rather than qualified people.

Oh Golly Gee, GW, You are the Best EVER! Thanks for that court job, Love and kisses, XOXOXOXO, Harriet.....lol....

I saw that and thought it was funny. Why is this worthy of being an AP story at all? A birthday card????
