WP: Ties to GOP trumped skill on Iraq team – washingtonpost.com Highlights – MSNBC.com

Like this is news.  I suppose we can do with as much re-stating of the obvious as it takes to begin having hope that this will overcome the koolaid effect,  and stress how this kind of thing is rampant and without exception across the board.  Environment, health, education, EVERYTHING.  All of the “positions” are bereft of “qualifications” and dominated by lobbyists and advocates for “less restrictions” on behalf of the businesses that benefit from less restrictions.  It’s all about money. It was what they were promised, and the money poured in.  This administration is all about money laundering and favors and power.  Disgusting.

(later: I suppose another way to look at this would be to say to the major media:  “it took you long enough; so it’s about time,  and you have a lotta catchin’ up to do.” )
