June 25, 2008Only The Party In Power Need ApplyYeah, it's always been easier for the party in power to get jobs, but this, I think, takes us back to 19C standards. Since around 1900, there's been a notion of the professional bureaucracy, to be filled by the most professionally qualified candidates rather than the most, er, politically qualified. I think historians will be arguing where on the list of worst 10 Presidents he belongs. I don't think he's as bad as Nixon, since there's no evidence he tried to hack democracy. Although, something along those lines, unverifiable eVote machines, was foisted on us during his first term, I see no evidence Bush made tha happen, though. Before 9/11, I don't believe Bush would've let this happen. Posted by Jon Kay at June 25, 2008 11:35 PMComments
