Fratboys for Bush

The Comely Watertiger made us aware of this latest instance of "George Bush, Strong on Kiss Asses!"

I feel secure knowing this:

The Bush administration has appointed 28-year-old former White House staffer Doug Hoelscher as the executive director of the Homeland Security Advisory Committees.

In his new position, Hoelscher will gather expert advice “on behalf of the president and the Homeland Security secretary” from 20 other advisory boards covering “key areas of homeland security, including threats to infrastructure and preventing terrorist attacks that use weapons of mass destruction.”

His experience?

Hoelscher has no management experience, a review of his professional credentials shows. He came to government in 2001 as a low-level White House staffer, arranging presidential travel, according to news reports. He earned $30,000 a year, salary documents show.

This really sets out the difference in stark tones between Republicans and Democrats.

Bush puts kids in their mid-20s in charge of NASA's public relations and Homeland Security. Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress won't even allow Matthew Yglesias and Ezra Klein to be in charge of organizing a kegger.
