I would have a hard time thinking of any Presidential appointment made by any President who couldn't read and write. Most have expertise and have completed their education. What do you find so remarkable about appointees who do so.

Perhaps they are thinking of Michael Brown, whom GWB appointed as head of FEMA, and who had expertise in Arabian horses, but none in running a national disaster response organization?

Or one of the the many young ideologues who were sent to head important agencies in Iraq based on nothing more than their loyalty to GWB?
