Upon reading the Jan. 4 editorial on Mr. Bush’s cabinet, one has to wonder what planet you live on.
Let me get this straight. We have a defense secretary who quotes Al Capone to justify a new arms race, an energy secretary who opposes tougher fuel consumption standards, an EPA administrator who thinks racial profiling is funny, an interior secretary who wants to mess up the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, an attorney general who seems to have racist tendencies and whose legal views put him in clear opposition to more than one Supreme Court decision, and an education secretary whose main claim to fame is a 20 percent reduction in school crimes over seven years after spending a fortune on hardware and SWAT teams.
And to no one’s surprise, the Tribune thinks this is reason to applaud. Shame on you!
