I'm not surprised by Ms. Feinberg's patent lack of qualifications. I worked as a non-political appointee for the feral gummint and qualifications hardly matter at a high level. What has always amazed me has been that people who are clearly marginal will accept a high-level appointment and, more or less, blunder their way through, the taxpayers be damned.

Happens on the state and local levels frequently WRT rail, because very few people ever worked for a railroad or have some rail experience. If it was required I bet 75% of people in the gummint side of rail administration would have to resign.
