This wasn't just a single employee that made a single mistake.

The Navy is happy to fire commanding officers for calling out sailors who show up late for physical training because it's embarrassing to the sailor, and yet it seems like we can't get anything close to that kind of accountability elsewhere.

It's not so much that Archuleta 'let this happen' (since I guarantee they would be hacked anyways), but the defensive efforts prior to this happening were even worse than you'd expect for government, and the response efforts since have almost been worse!

Archuleta is a party hack who got what was supposed to be a patronage position. There are thousands of them the parties use to reward, you know, county canvassers after a successful campaign.

She should definitely be fired, not so much for what she allowed to happen per se, but because she doesn't have anything like the background she needs to do the job with which she's been entrusted.
