Bush appointee for immigration stinks as bad as Mike Brown

You know Bush really screwed up when Michelle Malkin is lambasting him...

Oh, give me a ^*&%$# break and a half! This nomination is a monumental political and policy blunder in the wake of the Michael Brown/FEMA fiasco. And I can tell you that contrary to the Miss Mary Sunshine White House spokeswoman's comments, rank-and-file DHS employees and immigration enforcement officials are absolutely livid about [Julie Myers, President Bush's nominee to head the the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security, and niece of JCS Chairman Gen. Richard Myers] Myers' nomination.

Myers is nothing more than a political hack. Consider:

Concerns over Myers, 36, were acute enough at a Senate hearing last week that lawmakers asked the nominee to detail during her testimony her postings and to account for her management experience. Sen. George V. Voinovich (R-Ohio) went so far as to tell Myers that her résumé indicates she is not qualified for the job.

After working as a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, N.Y., for two years, Myers held a variety of jobs over the past four years at the White House and at the departments of Commerce, Justice and Treasury, though none involved managing a large bureaucracy. Myers worked briefly as chief of staff to Michael Chertoff when he led the Justice Department's criminal division before he became Homeland Security secretary.

Myers also was an associate under independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr for about 16 months and has most recently served as a special assistant to President Bush handling personnel issues.

Her uncle is Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She married Chertoff's current chief of staff, John F. Wood, on Saturday.

Just what in her flighty resume indicates she knows jack about immigration enforcement? She barely stays at any job long enough to really know what she's doing, anyway (apparently Sen. Voinovich had the same concern).

Her relationship to Gen. Myers and marriage to Secretary Chertoff's chief of staff seems to be the main resume selling points for her getting the job.

You'd think the FEMA disaster would have taught Bush something about appointing competent people. Guess not...
