It is a rare occurrence when I recommend a Frank Rich op/ed in the New York Times on Minnesota Monitor. Yet I am doing so today because it is Mother’s Day.

“Oh, so Frank Rich is writing about Mother’s Day,” you say.

Not at all. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t list the name of one mother in his article.

What Rich does detail, however, is a rundown of all the “corruption, incompetence, and contracting or cronyism scandals” that have occurred in the brief six years of the George W. Bush administration. He mentions a number of names

Women in Bush’s Inner Circle have not performed well. You don’t give enough credit to the women in Bush’s inner circle.

  Remember that Karen Hughes left to be with her family, but has returned to promote America’s image in the Mid-East (that must be going well since it’s never discussed anymore).

  And sometimes the women, just didn’t fit in … Christine Todd Whitman served as head of EPA until the RoveMachine found out that she might actually take her job seriously.

  But the problem may be that Bush’s ladies that are not mothers … Condi Rice and Harriet Myers have caused quite a bit of damage.  I guess that is why Mitt Romney doesn’t like singles ( he gave the commencement address at Regent University and criticized people who choose not to get married.)
