Brother of Grover Norquist appointed as DHS chief financial officer

According to Washington Technology David L. Norquist will be appointed as chief financial officer of the Homeland Security Department by Bush. David L. Norquist is the brother of Grover G. Norquist.

Grover Norquist is one of less than a handfull of key advisors to George W. Bush. He is a well-known advocate for massive reduction of the size of government as well as an advocate of tax cuts for the purpose of starving government of funds.

Grover Norquist is famed for saying (among other things) that he wants to see government shrunk so small that it can be drowned in a bathtub.

Once again we see how cronyism runs rampant through the Bush White House.
