For The Record

Just to keep track:

Under Clinton from 1992 to 2000, according to Princeton political scientist David Lewis, political appointees in the federal government dropped by nearly 17 percent – from 3,423 to 2,845. From 2000 to 2004, that figure climbed back up 12.5 percent to 3,202.

I guess it makes a certain kind of sense. Afterall, Bush has vowed to do nothing like Clinton.
