Groundhog day

Digby quotes the following jaw-dropper:

Congress pledged that Abrams would never work at a high level in government again. But by the time the Neoconservative cabal in the Bush administration got Bush to appoint him to the National Security Council, there had been so much turn-over in Congress that, one member told me, "no one remembered who Abrams was."

One wonders. Is institutional knowledge so pathetic in Congress that, a decade or so from now when Jeb is anointed preznit Bush III, we'll see a parade of Brownies, Feiths, Cambones, Safavians -- to name a barbershop quartet of incompetence, stupidity, lying, and greed -- given senior positions in the administration, all under the nose of congressional committee staffers who've never heard of them?
