Thinking about our next administration

I'm gradually reading Robert Reich's Locked in the Cabinet and really enjoying his first hand accounts from his tenure as Labor Secretary in Slick Willy's first term. I've just gotten into January of 1993 so plenty of hope remains and yet even then Professor Reich is clearly preparing his reader for later frustrations. I also can't help but think of his caring, thoughtful leadership at Labor as contrasted with Bu$hCo's Elaine Chao. Shame on Elaine is a great start to understanding that Dubyah's legacy goes well beyond the stuff we know he's ruined.

Married to Kentucky's Senator Mitch McConnell, a corporate board darling, a Bu$h Pioneer, a Heritage Foundation background, ... Elaine was surely a perfect fit for Bu$hCo. Heck of a job George! Just getting shed of this administration will be a positive as the next to occupy the White House will perhaps at least try to serve the public interest. John Gunn
