AAARRRGGGHHH! 

Stop

"Veep" is NOT a word. Is it some sort of old farts rebellion against "txt spk"? Unnecessarily making things longer than they actually are... yeah, that'll show the kids!!

tack this on to the wall st govt complex 

This actually fits in perfectly, especially to the up and coming administration. The majority of those in government are failures in their personal lives, can't do anything on their own, can't run a business, only know how to work for someone. It only makes sense to reel in failed corporate executives to come in and work with the rest of the failure so they can all fail together and at the end of the day it's only tax money that's being flushed down the toliet.

Do you really know anyone that went through school saying I want to work for the government? Ha.

"It only makes sense to reel in failed corporate executives"

Yes yes, the failure of Lehmans was all down to this IT exec. Yes yes, it's well documented all over the web. Therefore you are correct in saying he is a failure. Very correct.

Paris, 'cause even she couldn't make this causal link stick.

Black Helicopters

I had no idea the FBI wanted to bankrupt themselves. Is that technically possible?

Technically, it should be black helicopters, but there's bugger all chance of getting them off the ground with this sort of manager in place...

Hoover Types which don't Suck and do the Business are Useless as Home Helps .. 

... and a Waste of Flash Cash.

"An ex-IT executive at the failed investment bank Lehman Brothers has been hired by the FBI to be the agency's new technology chief."

The prognosis for hiring failed executives is not a rosy one and further highlights the Ongoing Crisis and marked Lack of Intelligence Quality at the highest levels of the FBI and therefore also National Intelligence. It is however most unusual to present such a National Vulnerability so Openly, for it is bound to be XXXXPloited.

Whatever are they thinking of? Are they Mad or just really Bad at what they are doing/supposed to do?

And some might even venture that they are both and more .

James Woods, who is still in charge?

Shrub.

So how is a hiring decision from shrubbers obama's fault?
