The friends of my friends get cushy jobs
I complain a lot about how our sitting President has replaced capitalism with cronyism and meritocracy with, well, more cronyism. But Jim Nicholson (our country's secretary for the Dept. of Vetrans Affairs) just takes the cake.
After running a real estate company in Colorado, Nicholson raised $380 million for Bush's 2000 campaign. This apparently qualified him to take care of America's veterans. New Republic reports that Nicholson promptly underestimated the number of veterans needing medical treatment by 80,000 because he forgot there was a war going on. That's amazing. Nicholson forgot Iraq.
You know who would have actually cared for America's veterans? John Kerry. Because he is a veteran himself.
