Last week the Bush administration renominated Julie Myers, the current head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement who had been made a recess appointment after her initial nomination met resistance. While at the time she had no relevant prior experience, she was eminently qualified in Bush administration terms: she's the niece of former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Richard Myers and she's married to Michael Chertoff's chief of staff.
Just for fun:
Russ Knocke, a DHS spokesman, said Myers has "demonstrated outstanding leadership and vision during her tenure, and has established a new and powerful federal law enforcement agency." He urged the Senate to move quickly to confirm her.
