Dilbert Principle? More Like Duke Principle

Atrios notes Think Progress' post on Bush's latest appointee disaster: Henrietta Holsman for Under Secretary of State for Management.

How on Earth can these incompetent fascists continue to find bigger and bigger assholes to promote?

This loser was busy winning friends and influencing people as far back as 1987.

Think Progress: Is Bush’s New Nominee A Bigot?

"... Henrietta Holsman, a 1970 graduate of Wellesley who runs a manufacturing concern in Los Angeles, resigned from the board last weekend after apologizing for her comments ... But in a letter to the college newspaper, Ms. Holsman reiterated her statement that she had trouble keeping black assembly-line workers from going ‘’back to the street to earn more money'’ selling drugs…

In her lecture, Ms. Holsman also said she had found Hispanic workers to be lazy, white workers resentful of having to work with machines, and Asians, while very productive, likely to move on to professional or management jobs. [NYT, 2/12/87]"


As a representative of the U.S. government, Holsman assured the President she would show utmost respect during her diplomatic visits... well, to the gooks and chinks, anyway.
