David Norquist (brother of Grover) is CFO of DHS

How do you know the Bush administration isn't even trying to hide how corrupt and incompetent they are? Perhaps this is a bit of clue. Back in January David L. Norquist - brother of Grover Norquist - was selected to be the Chief Financial Officer of the Department of Homeland Security, and he was approved in May. From the 1/17/06 WH press release (tinyurl.com/k779c):

Mr. Norquist currently serves as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Budget and Appropriations Affairs). Prior to this, he served as Acting Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), as well as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Financial Management).

And, as CFO, he'll be overseeing the new "virtual fence".

Is he a Moslem, as his brother Grover is said to be?
If so, will this compromise his chances of being for America first, ahead of loyalty to his pious co-religionists, who may, some of them, wish to be in the vanguard of jihad aginst the infidel?
