The Pretzel Diaries

I if were to know, uhhh, what I know now, umm, 3 years ago, uhhh, I still woulda, you know, tried to eat that pretzel.

Seriously, am I having a 5+ year nightmare? Where do they find these guys? They can't all be Bush's frat brothers. If I went on a tour of The White House and proclaimed Bush was annointed by God would I be hired to head a federal department? This is amazing - from the last day:

Brian J. Doyle, a deputy press secretary, was placed on administrative leave
without pay, according to a DHS statement. His security clearance, employee
badge and facility access permissions also have been suspended, according to the
statement.
Doyle, 55, was arrested Tuesday night at his Maryland home,
suspected of striking up sexually explicit conversations with a detective posing
as a 14-year-old girl, authorities said. He faces seven counts of use of a
computer to seduce a child and 16 counts of transmission of harmful material to
a minor, according to the Polk County, Florida, Sheriff's Office.

And now this:

Frank Figueroa, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security’s program to stop child predators (Operation Predator), today pleaded no contest to
charges he exposed himself to a 16-year-old girl.

And there's also this:

Michael Burks: My father was a police officer. I was a police officer. I
work for the Department of Homeland security. I understand you guys have a
job to do and I’m not trying to tell anything else other than that. I
swear to God, as God as my witness, I’m wearing a St. Michael’s medal right now,
okay? I was not going to do anything with her.

But the detective doesn’t seem to be buying his story.

Police officer: I am telling you I don’t believe that you didn’t intend to have sex at some point with the girl.
Burks: Sir, I swear to God.
Police officer: It would have happened, I guarantee you, it would have happened.

And don't forget Heckuva Job Brownie, Claude Allen (Ass to President for Domestic Policy) with his retail theft scheme, Rumsfeld (so incompetent), Rice (super incompetent)...The list goes on. Is there anyone in this administration you would hire to plan a birthday party? What about to do your laundry? Yet these guys are running our country. And less we forget, the head honcho is the most incompetent president of all time who can't even eat pretzels without risking his life or ride a bike or Segway. Oh Jeebus, please wake me from this awful dream!!!
