quote:
The Secret Service director is a woman that was appointed as a direct result of the Secret Service prostitution scandal. She was given the position in order to "improve the image" of the Secret Service. It wasn't because she was the most competent or the most qualified. It was because Obama wanted to put someone with a vagina in the position for silly, political correctness purposes. That's the liberal way of doing things and that's why some nut gained more yardage on the White House premises than the Saints did at AT&T Stadium.

Although I believe in a meritocracy and think it is a disservice overall to award less qualified and capable individuals a position I also believe that claims like these substantiated with some shred of evidence. Do you have some causal link to substantiate your claim? It does no good to support an argument, especially one with merit, with BS when there is actual evidence in other instances that could support the overall argument.

I've been asked for links a couple of times. I posted one on page 2.

The guy that everyone thought was a shoe in for the job was a guy named David O'Conner. He had the problem of being a white male so he was passed over for a lady that was a desk jockey in a "touchy-freely" appointment. Her previous position before being elevated was an assistant director slot that mainly involved handling the SS budget.

If you need more proof that this was another incompetent person placed in a job over their head due to politics, I guess you can turn on the news or something.
