Bush-appointed Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt called Sen. Craig Thomas’s (R-WY) office Thursday afternoon to request a meeting with the late senator. Thomas passed away on Monday after a seven month battle with leukemia. The Washington Post writes, “Needless to say, grief-stricken Thomas staffers were stunned.”

Birds of a feather stick together. Bush likes to surround himself with idiots so he doesn’t always look like the odd man out. When someone told him “Iraq is the New Vietnam” Bush replied “where is Vietnam and should we be invading it?”

Well look at the last one, Tommy Thompson!
I am wondering if Bush is ever going to find a General that agrees with him. He's fired more than the last 5 presidents combined! Maybe that is why he is appointing an Admiral as the head of the Joint Chiefs!

Birds of a feather lie, cheat, and steal together.
Bush is so dumb and so corrupt that he has little choice other than to appoint buffoons and evildoers to key positions of public trust.
Bush ruins everything he comes in contact with. He himself and his merry band of liars and thieves are the only beneficiaries of Bush's decisions. The average LEGAL citizen has no place in any Bush policy put forth.
If a person is willing to lie about an entire nation purchasing uranium, there is no lie or evil deed to heinous for such a person to commit against anyone who may stand between them and their insatiable lust for power and money.

They are called sycophants. They agree with everything Bush does and heap false praise on him when his policies fail, by telling him what a great job he is doing. A real president would want people who give him/her candid advice; hence, the logical use of an adviser, instead of telling me how pretty I am today.

ok, either bush is a puppet with evil super geniuses pulling his strings; or bush is an evil super genius; or they're all idiots.
but if you're subscribing to any of this stuff about evil conspiracies and secret alterior motives; then you need to pick one.
and im not sure how that additional paragraph indicates that people are idiots.

because he knows that what he is doing is wrong and it makes people think twice before impeaching him or getting him out of office one way or another because, the next person in line looks worse than he does. The next person after that looks even worse, the next person after that is a schmuck etc...

There used to be an old adage and it was, "It take one to know one". I think an idiot would keep the status quo by keeping the same kind around himself!

"In the Kingdom of the Blind, the One Eyed Man is King"
He is trying SO hard to look bright and articulate and clever and charming, but he just comes off looking like the batteries in the buttplug are leaking into his underwear.

He has an ego problem: he did not want to be the only idiot in office.
