"What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?''

[Richardo]

...a truly chilling question that should serve as the epitaph for the last 8 years of incompetence, partisanship, patronage and graft.

I recommend you read Leonard Pitts' excellent column today:

The partisan injustice at Justice

``What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?''

I have gone forward and back for awhile now trying to figure out where today's rant should begin, but I find that I cannot get past that question. It was posed by Monica Goodling, an aide to then Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, to job seekers at the Department of Justice.

<snip>

Is it me, or doesn't she sound less like a job interviewer than like an adolescent girl splayed out on her bed, giggling with her girlfriend about some hottie actor they both adore? I mean, what, exactly, was an applicant expected to say?

<snip>

It wasn't just that she asked a question that would have been more at home on the cover of Tiger Beat. It was that she passed over a respected prosecutor with almost 20 years of experience for an important counterterrorism job because his wife was active in Democratic politics, hiring instead a Republican with three years' experience. And that she denied one applicant on the suspicion -- the suspicion, mind you -- that she was a lesbian. And that she jettisoned yet another because he was a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. And that she ran Internet searches to determine applicants' political views. And that one of her interview questions was: ``Why are you a Republican?''

It goes on. And on.

<snip>

It is a telling question. Apparently, these people have forgotten or never even knew: It wasn't George W. Bush they were supposed to serve.

the question reminds me of the old Twilight Zone episode . . . .

7. That question says a lot about Ms. Goodling.

She obviously viewed Dubya as the Glorious Leader & expected others to view him as such, as well.

The entire DOJ was perverted & still is with Muck-assy in charge.

Will any from the Busholini Regime be held accountable, charged with their crimes?

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Unfortunately, it's not only the DOJ that was perverted. All departments and agencies have gone

through the same 'sanitizing' for pure ideology. It will take 50 years to return to where we were with career positions and staffs after Jan. 20, 2009.

9. No, she was just following the leader's orders.

Like with Abu Ghraib, Bush is trying to turn DOJ-gate into the independent frat house-like hijinks of a handful of lower echelon riffraff.

11. She thought her oath was to protect Bush, not the Constitution

She was the perfect interviewer for these jobs :eyes:

3. they served at the "pleasure of the President"

and they never intended to serve anything or anyone else

the lingering smell of burning sulfur in his wake."

5. I'd love to serve him a subpoena for war crimes.

Hell, for someone who learned the hard way that "never, ever, volunteer" is sound advice, I'd be first in line to "serve" him.

Turning frequently and served hot!:evilgrin:
