How Bush cronyism can adversely affect the average citizen

Fuck. When will the American people decide that enough is enough and throw out the modern day robber barons? Political patronage is one thing, but giving these no-bid contracts to rebuild the southeast is another. Simple political patronage, like giving a major campaign contributor an ambassadorship to Madagascar can't really fuck up the lives of the average citizen, but giving away millions of dollars to corporate contributors without oversight is an invitation to corruption. It is an abdication of leadership. Maybe "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job" can become the latter day version of "I'm not a crook." Goddamnit.
