Bush's No-Name Cabinet

cabinetQuiz.gif
Slate magazine recently ran this piece about how unknown most of Bush's cabinet are, even compared to other unknown cabinets (A Bush Cabinet quiz). Much of it is due to the fact that, so late into a second term, only the most desperate opportunists are clamoring to join the Administration. The other, according to the article, is that so much of Bush's domestic agenda (such as it is) came from Karl Rove, not the DPC (currently headed by Karl Zinsmeister) or the departments themselves.

Comments

Most of the cabinet is unknown due to the fact that most of us would probably like to forget Bush and anything that has to do with him.
