Yes men, political hacks and cronies

US response to the victims of hurricane Katrina was plagued by the incompetence of the yes-man Bush had put in charge of the agency responsible for disaster relief.
Now, any halfwit will tell you that the presence of cronies, pals, yesmen and family members at the highest levels, or at the bureaucrat level, only leads to disaster.
Heres the million dollar question!!
Who is to blame?
Who will be accountable?
Is it enough for the yesman to merely resign after so many lives were needlessly lost, or for the guy who put this incompetent fool in charge, to theatrically proclaim that he takes responsibility?
I say not!! Both the yes man and his master must bear responsibility.
Lets put this system of bankrupting solid organizations via the cancers of cronyism, nepotism and favouritism, out of business once and for all.
Everybody has the duty and the right to challenge the directions and the hiring decisions of their own organizations. If any are found to fit the pattern, where cronies or yesmen are prevalent, then these must be purged from positions they obtained via their ass-kissing ways or their relations to those in power.
