"Like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders"

Mr Secretary:

I am appalled at even your "implication," "anecdote," or "joke" that contracts might be awarded on the basis of the bidder's political affiliation. Your obligation, sir, is to the taxpayers--and to insure that contracts are awarded to those who are competent and economical. You are an example of the same kind of cynical "house servant" opportunism exemplified by Sharpe James--now thankfully exiled by Corey Booker from his Newark fiefdom. How long will it be before you join him in exile?

As Rev. Jackson said, your work for the Bush White House is "like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders."

Most sincerely,

Dr Coyote
