Rayne Today

I've been asking myself for nearly two years now: are these people idiots? Yeah, the Bush Administration and the Defense Department - are they fully screwed in?

Nope, not asking any more. The appointment of a proven partisan to a non-partisan position - a position which, to be effective, MUST be non-partisan - is totally whacked. It's not at all in the public interest to have the Defense Department's Inspector General's Office lead by a partisan.

I hope real Republicans, real conservatives, are paying attention here; the same kinds of doesn't-quite-look-right stuff made toast of Enron and WorldCom and Global Crossings, took a bunch of this economy with it.

If it looks iffy, it probably is and it shouldn't be done as a business practice. That's what I've been taught, repeatedly, by corporate controllers and auditors alike. L. Jean Lewis has no business working in a capacity for this administration in a position of oversight of this nature.

This particular move stinks to high heaven.
