Seems that bush simply can not pick a single good cabinet member.

from here

Robert M. Gates was the Central Intelligence Agency’s deputy director for intelligence (DDI) from 1982 to 1986. He was confirmed as the CIA’s deputy director of central intelligence (DDCI) in April of 1986 and became acting director of central intelligence in December of that same year. Owing to his senior status in the CIA, Gates was close to many figures who played significant roles in the Iran/contra affair and was in a position to have known of their activities.

Why does Bush keep picking people that have the appearance (or are actually) corrupt or have been connected to corruption? He needs to start picking highly qualified and squeaky clean cabinet members. Not only to save his political ass, but because the country deserves better.
