Executive Search: Bloomberg, Gingrich, Gore?

2008-06-26T15:58:08Z

Dwight Custer is an executive search consultant in Nashville, TN. He explains why our process for choosing a president has become more flawed, so the most qualified people for the job often stay out of the race. Newt Gingrich and Michael Bloomberg top his list of qualified leaders who would make excellent presidents, even Bill Frist. Al Gore, however, does not make the list.

Mr. Custer describes himself as an Independent but is registered as a Republican in Tennessee, where you must choose (R) or (D). He's joined here by his daughter Susanna. Mr. Custer will likely support Mike Huckabee in the primary, and his daughter favors Mitt Romney. Watch for more interview clips from these two in the near future.

To The GOP's Credit, They Find Other Ways To Profiteer Besides War

2008-01-12T20:21:59Z

You gotta give kudos on creativity, no? If the war angle is already providing billions in ill-begotten gains, they use Mother Nature and God to rip off the American people and become 21st Century Robber Barons.

First example? Check out this great piece by Timothy J. Burger of Bloomberg on greasy, sebum-stained, uber-lobbyist, Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi, who never met a corrupt family member under criminal investigation to whom he couldn't bestow a no-bid contract post-Katrina (hell, he even hooked himself up!):

Among the beneficiaries are Barbour's own family and friends, who have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from hurricane-related business. A nephew, one of two who are lobbyists, saw his fees more than double in the year after his uncle appointed him to a special reconstruction panel. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in June raided a company owned by the wife of a third nephew, which maintained federal emergency-management trailers.
Meanwhile, the governor's own former lobbying firm, which he says is still making payments to him, has represented at least four clients with business linked to the recovery.

No natural disaster present, no problem. Just throw money at faith-based groups and say God told you to do it. It seems former Governor of Oho, Bob Taft, found guilty of illegally accepting gifts from golf pals, also found a way to help out his buddies at taxpayer expense:

You've heard the stories: The $500 office chair for a university that could have been bought elsewhere for $50; the Statehouse renovation that included closets outfitted with $400 door knobs emblazoned with the Great Seal of the State of Ohio; and, of course, state investments in rare coins and Beanie Babies.
But hey, Ohio taxpayers. This one trumps them all: You paid over $111,000 for two big-screen TVs that were never even hooked up.
Little noted in the news these past few weeks was an Ohio Inspector General investigation that examined misspending by Bob Taft's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. Our famously scarlet-red fiscal conservative bloggers and pundits were strangely silent (c'mon guys - this one's a real porker on a silver platter.)

Of course right-wingers said nothing. Because they're all cultists who pray to the Golden Calf now, when not dreaming of sharing some beers with George W. Bush in full flight suit regalia.
