Overhead from upstairs

Sweetie was watching CNN last night, and they were doing a report about the history of political appointees.  Not terribly surprisingly, there's a long history of Presidents giving jobs to their friends, but they usually give away such jobs as "Undersecretary to the Blah Blah Blah" type jobs, not, you know, the head of FEMA or something like that.  Heh.

...And I swear I heard someone say something about Brown being "one of the least qualified people to ever hold a job."  The way I heard it, it wasn't "to hold a federal job" or a "crony job", it was "to ever hold a job" Period.

Another one of those things that is actually pathetic and awful, but you just have to laugh.
