Being Brunette Barbie: Hurricane Makes Congress See Light on Unqualified Immigration Nominee
I and friends of mine, who are Homeland Security agents both inside and outside ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), have voiced concern and dismay over the President's nomination of Julie L. Myers, a 36-year-old lawyer (and confidant of another inept Homeland Security lawyer, Michael Chertoff), to become the new DHS Assistant Secretary over ICE.
Today, Associated Press reports that Congress is finally seeing the light concerning Ms. Myers. Too bad it took a catastrophic hurricane to do it.
I'm not a fan of Ohio's Republican pro-Islamist U.S. Senator, George Voinovich, but yesterday, he got it right: "I think that we ought to have a meeting with [Homeland Security Secretary] Mike Chertoff ... to ask him ... why he thinks you're qualified for the job," Voinovich was quoted as saying in The Washington Times. "Because based on your resume, I don't think you are."
Julie L. Myers has zero qualifications for the job. Being Brunette Barbie is not enough to run the most important agency in Homeland Security, which handles immigration (and does a horrible job at it). If Myers is confirmed, expect Abu Moskowitz (Brian Moskowitz) style malfeasance to continue and national security to be increasingly jeopardized.
Wait 'til you hear her other "qualifications." More on Julie L. Myers coming up. Stay tuned.
***UPDATE: Michelle Malkin also has a great post on this. And FYI, the wimpy Voinovich reversed course on Julie Myers and is now supporting her. I knew I couldn't trust him.

debbie, at this tme all new nominations are going to be called into question but it looks like the head 'Chertoff' will slide by(sad)and there's a deep problem, that Myers could even be thought of to have the job.I guess they think she'll look good at the dinner parties;pretending to care about homeland security.This is a example of how we(the U S A) are not taking the problem of homeland security past words. Now as far as KOAJaps,"what are youy saying"?

debbie, you've hit the nail on the head here. while i agree that she should be passed around the administration from male boss to male boss as a hottie in residence, giving her a job with actual impact on public safety seems to be a dangerous reach. i can just imagine al qaeda shaking in their boots. by the way deb, can you hook me up with her?

We need a tough ex military officer who can kick ass, not some inexperienced paper pusher.

Thanks for the "heads up." I'm contacting Sens. Levin and Stabenow today about Myers.

She has the main qualification for heading a bureaucracy - no balls.
