| Consider for a moment how the politicians in a particular administration can harm a political appointee. |
| When a President's political appointee comes in to an agency and does a good job, his or her peers are frustrated when he or she leaves. |
| This too may have its drawbacks, but at least a local appointee will have a fair knowledge of clergy and people and a sense of diocesan needs. |
| The appointee will be responsible for raking in as much money as possible from grants, bids, special policing services and sponsorship. |
| That put the president in the unusual position of officially distancing himself from his own appointee. |
| The position was then reannounced for the third time, and the political appointee applied and was selected for the position. |
