Questions?

Q:What are some examples of cronyism in the legislative process?
A:Just the legislative? Not the Executive or the Judicial?
Q:Please give a definition and examples. Thank you!
A:Cronyism is favoritism shown to old friends without regard for their qualifications, as in political appointments to office. For example, you are holding a job interview to fill in the post for Finance Manager. There are two ideal candidates. Candidate A is somebody you personally never met but he grauduated from a good University with excellent gpa. Candidate A's character and qualities looks perfect for the position. Candiadate B is your good friend since kindergarten. He only got a diploma and his academic transcript doesn't seem impressive. But because Candidate B is your best friend, you choose him instead of Candidate A, despite the fact that his qualifications is not what's expected for this position. Cronyism is more of a bias situation.
Q:
A:I think it is mainly for buying votes and build up more powers for the Republican Party at large. If you have read the article published in Hong Kong South China Morning Post last year, Hong Kong cronyism is most severe in this world, as all the important top officials are appointed through sort of most explicit style of cronyism. What's more invoked the public cynical and anger to Donald Tsang Yum-kuen's empire of a total fascism practice as if he and his caucus expressed "so what"?
Q:
A:Chicago was my first thought.
Q:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080825/ap_on_el_pr/biden_mbna Whose side are they on, anyway? Comrade, I meant what I said.
