Bush Immigration Pick Criticized

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Perhaps someone with more experience related to illegal immigration would be nice...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

I love exposing our government's shenanigans!

[Perdogg]

This woman may not be qualified. But the dummycrats have no room to complain.

What about Warren Christopher and George Tenet?

The need to apologize for those people first.

Another question. What gives Malkin the moral and scholastic authority to question Myer's qualifications?

[livius]

She's a bureaucrat and that's all she needs to be. I suspect she's probably going to be good, simply because I have seen so many people here on FR trashing her right from the start. Indicates to me that the trolls are out and active, stirring up GOP ire by innuendo, so she must be perceived as possibly a sound choice.

"What gives Malkin the moral and scholastic authority to question Myer's qualifications?"

Malkin pays her salary. That's what.

[Perdogg]

So you mean to tell me that every one who pays taxes is qualified to judge if someone is qualified for a National security position?

[surely_you_jest]

This is, *ahem*, a less than optimal nomination.

But it is consistent with W's track record on illegal immigration.

Malkin is right. Again.

[taxed2death]

Absolutely.

I'm paying for this inexperienced lawyer who only got the job because she's someone's niece or cousin or whatever......

I have every right to judge her qualifications. I have every right to question the reasoning behind her appointment.

That's how things work.

[andyk]

So you mean to tell me that every one who pays taxes is qualified to judge if someone is qualified for a National security position?

That is not the same thing as questioning someone's qualifications, which is what you castigated Malkin for. This sounds like an awful pick to me.

[TChris]

Another question. What gives Malkin the moral and scholastic authority to question Myer's qualifications?

Why does she need "moral and scholastic authority" to question Myers' credentials? By that standard, any voter who has never worked in government would lack the necessary "authority" to question any politician, wouldn't they? I mean, really, how many political analysts have "moral and scholastic authority"?

The questions you should ask yourself is: Is Malkin right?

[Mr. Mojo]

Should've appointed Malkin.

[RetiredArmy]

This woman may not be qualified. But the dummycrats have no room to complain.

What about Warren Christopher and George Tenet?

The need to apologize for those people first.

What about Klinton, Klinton, Kennedy, Carter, Jessie, Rev Al, Kerry? Where/What are/were their QUALIFICATIONS?

[gubamyster]

Yep, I suppose those guys over at National Review are a bunch of trolls too? She must be a great choice with all this negativity.

Withdraw Myers

[flashbunny]

"What gives Malkin the moral and scholastic authority to question Myer's qualifications?"

The same thing that gives you or I the authority to do the same thing.

She's an American citizen. The goverment works for us. Were are not their subjects.

[flashbunny]

"we are" not "were are".

[End Times Sentinel]

I'd support her if I got a convincing commitment to ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS... prolly I'll have to settle for an unconvincing one from Hitlary.

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,

 it was probably sarcasm)

[Perdogg]

Maybe people should give her the chance before the Senate before making up their minds.

[Southack]

President Bush could write a poem that stirred souls, grow food that satiated world hunger, and personally cured cancer and he'd still get "criticized" by the ideological know-nothings in the news media.

It grows old. If this position was "so" important, then why didn't Malkin and others first suggest someone for this position?

The truth is that she and others like her just criticize, they have no proactive, positive policy suggestions and personnel recommendations. She probably just heard about this job opening this week, anyway.

[flashbunny]

...or maybe they could judge by her experience and qualifications....and see that the only way she meets the requirements of the job is by realllllly stretching the definitions of her experience.

Face it, she's not a good choice. There are much better people out there to do the job.
