NEGROPONTE: A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

Negroponte going to State tips us to a double dose
of reality by a Bush who is stranger to such moves.
1- It tells us Baldy was out of his league in the in-
telligence czar business. 2- Condi Mushroom
Cloud needed some help before the world thought
she was running a morgue instead of the State
department. Her friends in the MSM saved her
much blushing by ignoring her inadequacies in
the bureaucratic world.

If you can remember when Ms. Mushroom Cloud
was titular head of the NSA she had a bozo named
Steve Hadley as runner-up. Ouside of Laurel and
Hardy they ran the worst security service of the
20 century. Naturally, with the dandy duet of
Bush/Cheney that made them eligible for a
promotion which they duly received.

Back to Negroponte. When Bob Zoellick quit
as deputy State Sec last July they couldn't find
one of their own to take over. Mushroom Cloud,
besides not being the swiftest of bosses wasn't
in demand as Miss Congeniality, either. But Bush
looking over his roster & always aware his govern-
ment is run for the few, of the few & by the few
prevailed on John to take the job and assured
him it would only be for two years. Pretty shrewd
of the Pres., here is a summary of John's recent
jobbers:
Assistant Sec. of State, 1977 to 1979
Assistant Sec. of State 1980 to 1981
McGraw Hill 3 1/2 years
Ambassador to Honduras, 1981 to 85
" Mexico, 3 years
" Phillipines 3 years
" United Nations, 3 years
" Iraq 1 1/2 years
" Nat'l. Intell. Director , 9 mos.
I bet the 2 year sales pitch of Bush got him.

One comment about his resume: When he was in
Honduras he was up to his butt in an illegal
war, knee deep in kidnappings, lies, false reports,
missing persons & God alone knows what else.
Great qualifications for this crowd of Repugs.

Between Baldy and Mushroom Cloud our State
Department will be an extension of the Bush
Administration's floperoos and in total disarray
in two years.
