Max Cleland, Bush political appointee.

[excerpt]

Max Cleland, who made a staged appearance at the Bush ranch Wednesday, was appointed by President George W. Bush to the board of directors of the Export-Import Bank in 2003. The same Max Cleland who is spending nearly all of his time attacking President Bush is, amazingly enough, a Bush political appointee.

According to a bank spokesman, Cleland makes $136,000 a year off this very cushy job. A couple of questions come to mind here: If Cleland had any decency, wouldn't he resign? Why would he accept a political appointment from a man he so loathes and thinks represents the very worst in American politics? Max Cleland's extremely partisan activities are being subsidized by the American taxpayer.

I used to have respect for Cleland prior to his recent shennigans. When under stress or pressure, alot of folks - Cleland included - will reveal their true hides. One thing I can't stand is forgetting those who did you a good favor and instead backstabbing those who helped you out. I really hope that Bush will remember these actions when he is reelected. There will be a slight increase in the unemployment rate when this is all over.
