"I can give lots of examples of this in the Clinton administration and in the upcoming Obama administration."

Again, there will always be some. However, in the Bush administration, it was hard to find examples of those who actually had a background in what they were administering. There were/are exceptions like Griffin for NASA. But ones like Chertoff for Homeland Security are a lot more common. Chertoff had no background in security of any type, he was an attorney and, most importantly, did fund raising for Bush in 2000. A lot of Bush appointees had experience in fund raising.
