| Can I be the Czar of Czars? I will keep track of daily scheduling and give them an hourly wage based on the time spent Czaring. I think thats fair don't you? I will accept and 8 hr wage based on the amount of tracking I keep. The Csars should be limited to 2 secretaries and maybe an assistant Czar. |

Richard Holbrooke was once a governor of New Mexico? That would be news to New Mexicans if it were true. Which it's not. 
That list, BD, is a wacko fringe propaganda lie - the characterizations of the people listed are nothing but smear jobs. If there's even a grain of truth in the descriptions, it's twisted beyond any resemblance to reality.

Some of them were nominees who received Senate confirmation, some had been previously nominated but failed to receive confirmation but then became recess appointments, and some were regular appointments.
