Perhaps my mistake. He/she just comes across as a big, steamy, stinking pile of shat to me.

I agree with that assessment. It would explain the over-riding need to interject subjectivism into her arguments.

The start of cronyism......selection of Andy Card for Chief of Staff..........................CNN:"many in the transportation industry expressed disappointment at the
selection, viewed by them as nothing more than a reward for years of political
loyalty."

"The public is the loser," Phil Boyer, president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association said after the Senate confirmed Card's nomination. "He just doesn't
seem to have the experience we hoped for."

After Bush was defeated in 1992, Card remained active in transportation policy
as a lobbyist for American Automobile Manufacturers Association. He later
served as board member of General Motors, directing the automaker's
government affairs activities.

He returned to a more prominent role in the public spotlight in Spring 2000,
when he announced an unpaid "unambiguous temporary leave" from GM to
serve as co-chairman of the Republican National Convention.

"I am a passionate supporter of Governor Bush's initiatives and his leadership,
and that is independent of the tremendous and absolute respect I have for his
dad," Card told reporters.
