Czars, Czars, Everywhere the Czars! . . .

Well, I suppose it's time I provide my jaded, albeit informed, view on this issue.

Problem is, there is so much idiocy surrounding the teabagger movement and their myriad grievances, there isn't enough time in the day (or a week for that matter) to address all of it in a timely fashion.

So -- let's take look at one of the more vocal wingnut accusations. Obama's scary Czars! BOO!

I'll dispense with this nonsense without too much bombast. Suffice to say, it's a crock of uninformed shit.

Here's a link with an in-depth analysis of which administrations have had which "Czars" and how many they had. OOOPS! Seems the George W. Bush administration had more Czars than Obama has.


[CZAR CHART FROM WIKIPEDIA]


Why weren't the wingers screaming about Bush's Czars?? Why? Is it because he was your favorite Republican President and it's ok if you are a Republican, but not OK if you are a Democrat. Do you know the definition of the word "hypocrisy"?

Please explain why Bush's Czars were more acceptable than Obama's? I'd love to hear the logic behind that argument. My comments section is open -- even if you want to be anonymous.
