The Pointy-Haired Bosses Strike Again!
Daniel G. Bogden was named the top Federal Prosecutor in Nevada in 2001. He’s the prosecutor responsible for several of our corrupt former officials now spending time on the public dole, in prison that is. Last week was his last day, because he was fired. He was told that “There is a window of opportunity to put candidates into an office like mine,” Mr. Bogden said, recalling the conversation. “They were attempting to open a slot and bring someone else in.” (That’s from an article in the New York Times today, but also from several articles in the Las Vegas Review Journal over the past month or so.) Now, here is a quote from the New York Times article, of the same date as this posting:
The ouster of Mr. Bogden and seven other United States attorneys has set off a furor in Washington that took the Bush administration by surprise.
Okay, then, there’s the problem. As if I needed further proof, here we see that the current administration is composed primarily of dolts and idiots. How could they ever believe, for a moment, that people wouldn’t be upset by the idea that they fired top-notch prosecutors just to give résumé space to young friends? When that’s done in private industry it’s called nepotism, and frowned upon by any board of directors worth it’s salt. So, really, guys there in the West Wing, you’ve gotta figure that people won’t like it any better when you do it, even if you do fancy yourselves as ‘the government.”
Tell me, who elected these bozos, anyway?
