Chris Cox will be as excellent an advocate for the SEC as Bolton will be for the UN. I can't wait until Bush appoints Sammy "The Bull" Gravano as head of the FBI.

Just exactly the kind of person I would expect Bush to propose.

The basic modus operandi for making ANY of his appointments is:

-- In the case of this department, who is the equivalent of
"the hens in the henhouse" as in the Aesop fable?

-- Then, when the "hens" have been identified, who would be the most rapacious possible fox to put in charge of the henhouse?

-- The fox must able to commit that he will do such destruction to the henhouse during his tenure that, after his term there will be NO henhouse, effectively. If there are no hens also, that is OK, too.

-- The spin-merchants are given the job of building the "picture" of the fox as a hen who has been very active in hen's affairs, and has a deep affinity with, and heart-felt dedication to hens. And a great Patroit, to boot!

-- Then, as the British say: "Bob's you're uncle!"
Or maybe: "It's saucered and blown" (not the Rude Pundit kind)

Namaste!
