Back right after Katrina, when we discovered that a failed political hack attorney with no experience had been appointed to head FEMA, and the righteous indignation of the American Public erupted, damn any blond bimbo eruptions, Beloved Leader wanted to appoint a lawyer with no experience in Immigration to be in charge of the Immigration Service. Of course, the Invertebrates in Congress made appropriate noises about how heckuva-job Brownie and his ilk could never be appointed again. So, the man who hates the Constitution now finds it advantageous to use it to make a recess appointment, Julie Myers, an extraordinarily unqualified person to that position today. From the Post in September:

The Bush administration is seeking to appoint a lawyer with little immigration or customs experience to head the troubled law enforcement agency that handles those issues, prompting sharp criticism from some employee groups, immigration advocates and homeland security experts.

The push to appoint Julie Myers to head the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security, comes in the midst of intense debate over the qualifications of department political appointees involved in the sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina.

Julie Myers has held a variety of jobs at the White House and in federal government.

Concerns over Myers, 36, were acute enough at a Senate hearing last week that lawmakers asked the nominee to detail during her testimony her postings and to account for her management experience. Sen. George V. Voinovich (R-Ohio) went so far as to tell Myers that her résumé indicates she is not qualified for the job.

Two-time gubernatorial loser Ellen Sauerbrey of Maryland, a rabid pro-lifer also got an appointment as an Assistant Secretary of State for Refugee affairs. I guess she needs a new housekeeper, because giving her access to the pool of people who are seeking asylum under Lady Liberty's torch can only be so she gets first crack at them for household duties.

We're so fucked...so fucked.
