Let’s review, shall we?

The Bush administration hires unqualified people for important jobs, which they screw up big time, in ways that cost people’s lives.

When Congress passes a law attempting to set some minimal qualifications for certain jobs, Bush says he will ignore that part of the law, because it rules out too many people he wants to appoint.

Some high-profile failures are awarded presidential medals in a White House ceremony.

If you’re talented, you work hard, you tell the truth, and do your job well, you lose your job.

Wow. Just… wow.

No matter what happens in November’s congressional elections, Bush and Cheney are here until January 20, 2009, at least. (At this moment, Alberto Gonzales is probably preparing a signing statement that says we can’t have any more elections until the war on terror is over, so I’m not holding my breath for Inauguration Day 2009, either.)
