In Bush America is it now considered Normal to Lie on a Resume and in

[KoKo]

fact to have NO QUALIFICATIONS whatsoever for ANY job one seeks? Does it mean that only having friends in high places qualifies one to employement at all?

How is it that this is now considered normal? Why hasn't Brown been fired on the spot for lying? Where was the background check on this guy by the FBI. Does our government no longer require any background checks if a Repug donor says you are Okay then you get the job.

Where is the national outrage. Do folks out there even realize he lied and had absolutely no experience and that FEMA was replaced with totally unqualified people? Is Chertoff even qualified as Homeland Security Director to oversee FEMA? What about Chertoff's Number 2...is that person qualified?

What the hell has happened to this country. Why don't we all give ourselves Ph.D's and M.D.'s and go our and get jobs we aren't qualified for, too? Who cares today. Maybe we could bribe folks to give us a job, too. Maybe take out a loan and give a check to the next person who interviews you for a job. Just put it in a little card and slip it into their hand.

This is disgraceful!

1. In Bush's America, intellect is suspect...education is good only

if it is tinged with religion and of "intelligent design". In Philadelphia, used to be that no building could be taller than the top of William Penn on City Hall. I guess in this country, no one should be smarter or more honest than Bush himself....the bar is now so low that a snake would have trouble slithering under it.

So much progress being undone by those so foul and corrupt. And the arrogance!!!!!

2. Ever thus... To the victor, go the spoils

The person in charge always wants/NEEDS a bunch of loyal toadies to do his bidding and to protect his flanks.. The best way to get these folks in line is to make sure they have FABULOUS jobs that they would be loathe to lose.. Qualifications are no problem if the very people who have to vet these appointments, are themselves toadies..

Who's to say Brownie ever even filled out an application? These types of positions are handed out like party favors..to special pals..... no resume required...a *² toady may have been the one to embellish his background so that the ones in congress who had to "approve" him were super-impressed..:puke:

6. SoCal...sadly you may be correct......

It's the way it is today. Ever since a couple of nude guys hawked their company on CNBC and it was "off to the races" with the Dot Com's back in 1999. It was when America became a country who lived as a Pimp and Whore to the Corporations. :puke: I agree with you....not enough vomit
could ever express what some of us feel about these people..

those of us..who've watched it for a long while.

3. If I had used my Tuition $ for GOP donation instead

of an education, I could be running a government agency by now and living large (It's the eternity in Hell part that prevents regret).

And "If it weren't for my horse..."

4. Yes, don't you all remember all those phone credentiald appointees

that were exposed before. Getting degrees from on-line colleges etc. there were at least a dozen who were exposed during his first term.

5. I'm shocked by how many people encourage it.

Many people have encouraged me to lie on my resume. I refuse to do it. I guess that's why I've been unemployed for so damn long, most people are lying on their resumes.

7. The New America...Pad and Lie...Pad and Lie...Make Up what you can't

"Fake Up" and YOU TOO can make millions. As long as you are one of the DC Insider Cronies or went to school at Yale, Harvard or Stanford...and maybe the "next tier" of Crooks and Criminals.

Not to have DU'ers think I'm bragging ..but I was at Yale working in Epidemiology and Public Health while my SO was in Med School when ALL OF THE BUSH THUGS WERE THERE!!

This is TRUE...and I walked on the same New Haven sidwalks with them and I walked through the Yale Campus among the biggest Thugs in America..and I remember when Gary Trudeau of Doonsbury was writing for the "Yalie Daily News" and I was there...but was NOT OF THEM...if you get my drift..

I'm telling you that MY FIGHT HERE...is MY FIGHT...and I was THERE WITH THEM...but didn't KNOW THEM...What does that say about AMERICA?

:shrug: What does that say...But, I'm here fighting against the Fascist Bushes..and WE were Scholarship Folks...the folks let in "under the wire" which is why I loved Bill Clinton until he let me down when he hooked up with the Bushies.

8. Unfortunately the answer is yes

and it is my suspicion that many in America, because of the ultra competitive job market, "pad" their resumes. I hate to think they lie but I'm afraid many do. However, the gross lies on Brown's resume are outrageous and should not be tolerated, especially from a high ranking supposedly trustworthy government official.
