From Chris Roach (link):
Bush has screwed up everything that compelled me to vote for him: national security, fiscal discipline, judicial appointments, reduced regulation, and governmental competence. His one minor achievement has been not to degrade the Oval Office by cavorting with interns. But he has now done something that is more corrupting to the office and the country’s political culture: a pattern of hiring unqualified people that objective observers can detect are mere cronies. At least Clinton didn’t reward Monica Lewinsky with a high office. Bush is disturbingly willing to reward those who suck up to him with important government jobs, and it is a small consolation that they don’t literally suck him off.
I suspect Clinton was involved in just as much Cronyism - he just didn’t get caught with his pants down like Bush did with Michael Brown.
