Bush picks Jesse "The Body" Ventura as the new Director of Homeland Security! (Well, actually he is the former police commissioner of N.Y., Bernard Kerik, but there is a resemblance, eh?)

The department of Homeland Security primary accomplishment was a color-coded terror alert system. By the way I think its muave today. President Bush has only empowered the department primarily with symbolic powers because the creation of the department of homeland security was based on easing the public's fears and political pressure. Just think about the word "homeland" and the conceptions of community and familiarity that it conjures. To this purpose Bush has identified both the public's ignorance and susceptiblility to be manipulated by 9/11 imagery and appointmented a man who embodies 9/11. The police commish for New York during 2001.
The department is a joke and always has been. Its the public's fault for not noticing that Bush is fleecing the public.
Craig, the department of Homeland Security was created under political pressure from Democrats. This is in addition to caving on testifying in front of the 9/11 commission, and creating a czar of intelligence, and a myriad of other positions Bush has backed down when the pressure was on. Bush follows the crowd just as much as John Kerry, Bush just talks tough so people think otherwise
craig...you're an idiot.
