Not an Auspicious Start

Spellings makes the fourth Bush White House insider to be nominated to the Cabinet. This is not a good sign, far from it. In my posting of November 8 I hoped that the second Bush administration would be one that was courageous and human enough to admit their fallibility. And, by appointing people with different viewpoints who speak their mind, the administration would encourage disagreements and their resolution so that future mistakes could be avoided.

Appointing lackeys, no matter how smart they may be, is not the way to ensure a legacy that future generations will be proud of.
