Bush Loyalist Clay Johnson To Be appointed At Homeland Security By President Bush
It has been reported by very senior level sources inside the administration that Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff will replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales who resigned yesterday.

The sources state that Chertoff will be replaced at Homeland Security by the Bush loyalist Clay Johnson III, who current postion is Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget.

Johnson, is inexpericed in the homeland security, as he has never previouly worked in the department, but is only a professional Bush loyalist. He will have no experience in the many responsibilities of the department, such as immigration, air travel security, and disaster response.

He is one of Bush’s oldest friends, having attended both prep school and college with the President. Johnson served as Bush’s gubernatorial chief of staff in Texas before heading up the Bush-Cheney transition team.

Bush told Johnson and his wife over lunch “I want someone whose primary interest is me — George Bush — and who doesn’t hope to parlay this into something and isn’t trying to curry favor with this one or that one,”

1. I guess it would be too much to ask he would appoint someone whose
primary concern was that of the country and not the Bush Crime Family to "Homeland Security." Homeland Security, indeed. What a joke.

CNN: Bush Plans To Install Inexperienced, Bush Loyalist Clay Johnson At Homeland Security

This morning, CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux reported that “very senior level sources” inside the administration are telling her that Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff will replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Additionally, these sources say Chertoff will be replaced at Homeland Security by Clay Johnson III, the Deputy Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget. Watch it:


....



Asked about his relationship to Bush, Johnson told the New York Times recently that “there’s a lot of devotion to George Bush the person.” Johnson, who “is probably the only person to have spanked” the president’s dog, Barney, “keeps a George Bush doll on his desk.”

5. I guess it's cheaper
than giving terrorists a raise in pay. Make their job easier instead.
