His qualifications? Well, he ran a coffee company AND he was co-chairman of the Bush campaign in 2000 in his county. Four states are currently under his supervision: Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. The combined population is over 11.5 million.

I thought that this kind of blatant plum-job appointing was just a thing from the past like NY's tammany hall... apparantly I was wrong.

I mean, I'd honestly like to hear a reasonable argument in Bush's defense on this one, because I really can't think of one, especially considering this appointment happened after 9/11.

Not only unqualified, but deeply incompetent--I've spent a fair amount of time in Cowlitz county and I can't believe they couldn't carry it for Bush. It's a very conservative place.
