Screw ups, jerk offs, & sycophants can go far in the bush administration

and even get the congressional medal of freedom bestowed upon their necks. Paul Bremer, stole 9 billion, Condi Rice, failed to warn the president about 9-11, no one was fired in the C.I.A. or the F.B.I. over the gross negligence regarding 9-11, but PROMOTED.

Basically, just kiss ass, pay your cash tribute to the boss, and no screw up in the world can harm you. Failure is disregarded over loyalty and ass kissing.

2. and without media comment! - although Today Katie asked Bremer the

question re 120,000 trained police/Military in Iraq and Time Mag saying its 14000 such who are in employed - Bremer just said 120,000 was the administration number and he does not know where the 14000 came from.

And Katie asked Bremer re the 9 billion that under Bremer that went missing - or at least no audit trail - and he said he took financial controls very seriously and that his job was to get the economy going by spending money - No follow up question by Katie about the lack of water and electricity at pre- war levels 2 years later.

But still - a surprise - Katie did ask the questions.

Of course Matt was in full cheerleader for Bush/GOP mode - but that was no change from any other day.
