“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Most qualified

Apparently the Democrats have risen up to voice their objections to Condeleezza Rice. 'Bout time. But what I find most interesting are the words of Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson:
On the other hand, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas, said that while mistakes were made it was wrong to rehash them. She lauded Rice for a "steady hand" in staying the course on the war on terrorism.

"I think Condoleezza Rice is the most qualified person" for the job, Hutchinson said.

She made some "mistakes" and helped lead the drive in the ineccessary war against Iraq, a war more than half the country now realizes was a mistake. And for that she is the most qualified person.

Which makes me wonder what other kinds of UNqualified people are working in the state department as well.
