Oil, Money - It's All the Same

He can't tell his ass from his elbow, so why should Bush tell the treasury department from the energy department?

Bush Surprises Energy Industry with DOE Nominee

President Bush on Friday nominated a senior Treasury Department official to be the next U.S. Energy Secretary, a surprise choice of a former chemical engineer with relatively little energy experience.

The nomination of Sam Bodman, who is now deputy Treasury Secretary, would leave just one cabinet post unfilled for Bush's second term.

Bodman, 66, would replace Spencer Abraham, a former senator from Michigan, who also lacked energy experience before he became head of the Energy Department and its $24 billion budget.

Bush said Bodman, who is also a former deputy secretary at the Commerce Department, would bring great talent to the Energy Department.

Yeah, like this guy knows talent when he sees it. I don't think so.
