>>Im questioning Willey's feeling that she
needed to compromise herself to get a job in the
DC area from BC. Otoh if she was after a higher
level position then it is more believable.<<
Oh really? She had been working in a bakery. Or
is that not believable too. [this sentence is Zoltan's]

Michelle, regarding Ms. Willey's jobs, and whether she sought high or low level employment from the president, here's a link, and I will offer just enough fragments below to indicate that Ms. Willey was not seeking a job in the White House bakery (I'm omitting the presidential squirming about these appointments.):
washingtonpost.com
...she did get a job in the counsel's
office, which she held for some time.
Q. Who in the White House would be
responsible for receiving applications for
that job and making the decision who
would receive it?
A. I'm not sure. The - Bob Nash runs the
appointments operation...
...
when I deal with him, we're dealing with
appointments to boards and commissions
and things like that. ... Ambassadorships, Cabinet,
subcabinet.
Q. Now, you appointed Kathleen Willey to
travel to Copenhagen to serve on the
official delegation of the United States
of America at a world summit for social
development, true?
A. She went as a White House appointee....
Q. She did in fact attend that world
summit in March of 1995, correct? ....
Q. Was she appointed to serve on the
official delegation of the United States
of America at a convention on biological
diversity in Jakarta, Indonesia?....
Q. Are you aware that she was appointed
to a position on the Board of Governors
of the United Service Organizations Inc.,
also known as the USO?
A. I am now. When I was told about her,
I do not remember appointing her, but
that was a direct presidential
appointment, so I assume at some point...
Q. That position on the USO Board of
Governors has a three-year term, does it
not?
