I would say we couldn't get anybody worse but have learned not to
underestimate the government.

Right. Does this clear the way for Bush to appoint Secretary of

You weren't around for Lizzy Dole back in the Reagan days.
You don't know what worse is.
Minetta was pretty good as Sec of Trans go.
He is probably on of the most knowlegable.

Sure! Frederico Pena. Dumb as a cinder block and corrupt as the Chicago Daly
family. Denver will be paying for that POS for the next 20 years.

You are correct, Pena was worse than Liddy.

I sure was around for Lizzy. She is one reason I no longer underestimate
the government.

The part about the profiling is true. He made statements in public to
support what the blog says except maybe for the baseball bat part.

Wasn't Minetta the guy who vetoed expanding the DL and self-certifying
medical for rec. pilots the first time?

Liddy Dole was instrumental, as the self-styled "safety secretary," for
the proliferation of Class B and C airspace throughout the country. She
followed the complete party line of the airlines in trying to banish the
"Little Guys" from major airports.
