The Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services has no actual experience with health or human services.
Yet another incompetent, unqualified Chimpy crony.
Another Michael Brown, just what we need.
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:49 pmYou had better hoof it on down to New Orleans and get to work, Mr. Secretary. Your administration is waaaaaaay behind.
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:49 pmDon’t forget to mention he is an up and coming NeoCon. Thank God we aren’t running out of them. Some constitutional rights still exist and that just isn’t acceptable.
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:50 pmYawn… this is all getting so utterly predictable. Did you really expect the Busch Regime to take the time to find a candidate who can do an actual job?
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:53 pmTroy had primary responsibility for debate preparation in President Bush’s re-election campaign.
He was in charge of the president’s hump.
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:53 pmAAHHRRGG!!! W has no shame. His appointment of cronies is rididulous. In 20 years, when W, Cheney, and the rest of them are finishing up their prison sentences, even the trolls will have to admit that this is the WORST administration (regime) ever!
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:54 pmIt appears Bush has a waiting list of his freinds. And when ANY job becomes available, he just fills it with whomever is at the top of the list.
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:02 pmThis is no better than the hacks he has appointed to the VA, with no military experience.
Total insanity from Bush.
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:04 pmSo, this is the guy who put the receiver under Bush suit jacket and made sure the transmitter had a good connection?
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:07 pmI hear he gives good B.J.s too!

May 3rd, 2007 at 6:14 pmBill Maher had a good rant at the end of his show last week, since this thread is about Bush’s insanity ( sort of )

May 3rd, 2007 at 6:14 pmNice, spudge boy. I do recall that wire and running up his suit jacket. Either that or shrub has a very thin spine leading up to his teenie brain!
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:14 pmExperience is unnecessary and competence is undesirable among Bush appointees. Does he even know anyone who is competent? For that matter, would any competent person want to know him?
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:18 pmmmmmm a Liar and a Zionist – hot combo Dubbie, and it ought to help you get the rest of the way to Olmert’s fate.
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:21 pmFrom the Rose Garden, The White House, Washington, Dc
Fade in to Bush …
And now ladies and gentelmen, I introduce Tommy “the toe nail clipper” Tennenhouse, my new defense secretary.
Tommy-boy, or as I like to call him, “toe nail,” has been my personal groomer for the past 12 years. Hell, ol’ Toe Nail and me go way back. Toe Nail was there in the gubner’s mansion making sure I didn’t push through my merino wool socks, personally weaved and sewed by the illegal immigrant women I kept locked in the mansion’s basement.
Now y’all might be a-wonderin’ how ol’ Toe Nail is gonna do as defensive secratary, and I’ll tell ya this right now, he’s gonna do a heckuva job, a heckuva job I tell ya …
fade …
And that ladies and gentlemen is today’s news from the White House.
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:28 pmTevi prepping for Bush,
“I am the decider” Naw too old
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:48 pm“I am the boss” Naw that’s Bruce Springsteen
“I am the big dude” Naw too loose
“I am the big guy” Close
“I am the Commander Guy” Bingo!
Would that make him “imminently qualified”?
May 3rd, 2007 at 6:53 pmThe bush-43 legacy: Incompetence, hubris and corruption.
May 3rd, 2007 at 7:36 pmThis piece would have been better titled “New HHS deputy secretary is Bush’s former debate FLUFFER”.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 pmHow about filling important government positions in the health field with a person holding a doctorate degree and having commensurate experience. I though Bush supported education – oh, just not educated people in government.
May 3rd, 2007 at 8:41 pmThe new HHS deputy secretary was a Bush fluffer???? Surprise.
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:03 pm#18 Darnit, you beat me to it. :)
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:03 pmAnother crony…big surprise.
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:43 pmwith troy’s ethnicity – one would expect he would be assigned to the defense dept as another neocon war hawk – following in the footsteps of wolfowitz, feith, zelikow, perle, abrams, adelman, and kagan – william cristol, etc etc
why is the term neocon applied to this group.
