Right result, wrong reason
I was not especially impressed with the choice of Bernard Kerik for Secretary of Homeland Security. He might have been big in New York, but I wasn't convinced he had what it takes for the majors. Guess we'll never know.
Still, if it turns out he has stepped down due to yet another nannygate (though many doubt this is the real reason), it shows we're still wasting our time worrying about minor or non-existent ethical problems when we should be far more concerned with ability.
I have little doubt Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood would have been better Attorneys General than Janet Reno. And who knows how much better Waco would have been handled if President Clinton had been looking for competence before gender.

But then, McVeigh might not have gone off the deep end and there might not have been an Oklahoma City.
And if there hadn't been an Oklahoma City, there might not have been a backlash against Newt.
And if there hadn't been a backlash against Newt, Clinton might not have won a second term.
Then we'd have been stuck with a President Dole. We'd probably have national health care by now.
Not to mention that the Democratic primaries would have left Gore, Kerry and every other pretender drowning in their own blood. Right now we'd be weeks away from Hillary!'s nomination, with Newt still reciting Alvin Toffler.
All in all, I'd say Janet did us a favor, although 75 religious fervents and another couple hundred government employees from the heartland might disagree.
