arrogance and incompetence in one package, how convenient...

Cronyism: Homeland Security honcho Janet Napolitano announced she'd quit her cabinet post on Friday to take a $750,000-a-year job as president of the University of California system. Is this the best the regents can do?
Instead of appointing a world class scientist, leading medical expert, respected academic or distinguished public servant — such as the truly qualified Condoleezza Rice — to lead the great University of California system, the UC regents opted for a political hack of no academic merit whatsoever. Their pick, Janet Napolitano, has presided over one disaster after another at the Department of Homeland Security.
Dubbed Big Sis by Internet impresario Matt Drudge for her tone-deaf intrusions on the citizenry, Napolitano has obediently enforced even the most absurd White House policies.
[Snip]
The real terror threat? Napolitano said it came from "right-wing extremists" and diverted resources in that direction — while the real terrorists, such as the Boston bombers, plotted to blow up this past spring's marathon with no interference.
And just to underline what she really stood for — Napolitano presided over the Transportation Security Administration, which today is one of the worst faces of Big Government, harassing terrified toddlers on their way to Disneyland and old war heroes in wheelchairs holding colostomy bags. Heckuva job, Janet.
Someone with this record at the University of California can lead that once-great institution only downhill.
Whether it's the regents seeking a friend at the White House to help them shake out more funds from well-heeled leftists — or, more darkly, a pawn who will say black is white when bad news comes out — it can't be good news to have a political hack like Napolitano at the greatest public university system in the country.
Pity the students. And what a wasted opportunity.

Yuck.
Fortunately here in Michigan we get to vote on Regents and trustees at the big schools of UofM and MSU. The problem is getting people to get off their butts and vote in those races.
arrogance and incompetence in one package, how convenient...
Janet Reno not only is an obvious blockhead, but she’s a dyed-in-the-wool lesbian complete with a partner.
This is just one more piece of proof that academia, as well as the central socialist government, is stupid.
Alumni should withdraw any financial help to this disgraceful alma mater.
$750 K and worth every penny.
Goodness! UC system is now run by one of their own: a lesbo, fat, incompetent liberal and an asshat moonbat. What could go wrong?
Wow Big Sis is the sister of Buckey Beaver!!!
Condoleeza Rice is also a terrible choice.
We don’t need either globalist running our university system in California.
Please note of the several globalists on the University Board of Regents, Dick Blum, Mr Diane Feinstein, is a standout.
Now do you see how Napalitano got the offer?
This is the way with the underground Marxists. They reward one of their loyal soldiers with a cushy reward at one of their subsidiaries.
Napolitano's only qualification is an iron fist to steer California's university system, educators, and therefore generations of students into a future socialist paradise.
The regents are just preparing for the day when the majority of UC students are illegal aliens. Who has more experience with illegal alien admissions?
To Dems, education is all about ideology, not accomplishments.
She fits their job description to a tee!!!!
Aside from the fact that she’s the perfect candidate for the job, ideologically speaking, they probably also think she will be a great source for federal grants.
Donna Shalala heavy..
I wonder what shoe is about to drop that is making her leave...
It's more than a perfect fit; it's the long-term brainwashing plan. Every student will be indoctrinated with Big Sis at the helm.
If they’re looking for a puppet who would only warm the seat and rubber stamp their agenda then the answer is ‘yes!’
