Real Kato Blog: Gonzo, You're Doing a Heck of a Job

How Bush's staff reflects on him.

I find it amazing that Bush is still standing by Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, even as members of his own party are calling for his resignation. If it's possible to be loyal to a fault, Bush is certainly showing us how. Remember the infamous quote, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"? Let's try these:

- Gonzo, you're doing a heck of a job.
- Rummy, you're doing a heck of a job.
- Rice-a-Roni, you're doing a heck of a job.

Amy made the observation that managers tend to hire people who, in their view, reflect their own qualities. So what does that say about a President who hires a FEMA chief who's utterly incompent, an Attorney General tainted by corruption and misleading testimony under oath, a Defense secretary who's almost universally disliked by military leaders, and a Secretary of State who was the centerpiece of the WMD hoax that drew us into the Iraq war?

Worst of all... what does that say about the American people who "hired" Bush to be President in the first place?

That is why the title of Ron Suskinds book, the story of Paul O'neil, is called "The Price of Loyalty"

Who is Wolfie? I'm lost... I've been out of DC too long perhaps.

Paul Wolfowitz was appointed by Bush to be head of the World Bank. He's accused of giving his girlfriend a plush job and a big raise there.

But girlfriends deserve plush jobs and raises! See Clinton reference above... :)
