Duck and run.

Typical.

Anyway the 107th Congress had the Senate split 50-50 and he just got a voice vote along with a bazillion others on that day:

Executive nominations confirmed by the Senate August 1, 2002:

<...>

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Michael D. Brown, of Colorado, to be Deputy Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Was that before or after Jeffords switching parties? Tom Daschle was majority leader at the time.

I would assume they would take the time to look at his resume, being responsible Democrats and all.

Uhh....yeah. Let's blame Tom Daschle for not looking closely enough at the resume of the guy Bush said was qualified. That's a good one.

hey, I got a better idea. Why doesn't the President just nominate someone who was actually qualified in the first place/ :D

So is George W. Bush's, but that didn't stop him from getting the job, either. Considering the adminstration's dismal performance in almost every aspect, this just looks like more of the same old sh8. :(

When he's done that with his judicial appointments they threw a fuss.

Not sure on the Jeffords issue. As for Daschle, well, he was a tool. I'm glad he's gone. He was worthless. Doesn't matter anyway. Brown had been working in FEMA for a while so the approval was pretty much a given.

But, you're duh-verting.

You mean you admit that Brown got his appointment by being an asskisser?

It depends on which suits their radical left agenda I suppose.

Welcome to politics in the real world.
It's a fraternity and it's about money.
Sometimes the spotlight gets shined on someone and it becomes obvious.
But you shouldn't be concerned--everything is under control.
Get back to that next thing you had your eye on buying.
