souperman-
BushCo will not be in a hurry to make this appointment, and the selection will be in the spirit of this regime, the least qualified they can find.
"Government Accountability" under BushCo during the time the congress and he white house were
both in rethglican hands, is one of the greatest oxymoron's of all time. It has not improved much with the current crop of dem's controlling congress.
No one said late stage capitalism would be fun, but you must admit, the absurdity of the situation does occasionally bring a smile.

If Government Statistics are going the way of the dinosaur why will we need a GAO?

The Federal Government has learned an important lesson from the Pentagon. The GAO has attempted, unsuccessfully, to audit the Pentagon for as long as I can remember. Each year the GAO staff walks away from the Pentagon...shaking their collective heads...and muttering that the books are such a mess that they cannot conduct an audit.

Hey, if it works for the Pentagon why not for the entire government?
