Keepin' us safer

In their ongoing efforts to do everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of American citizens... oh, I'm sorry, I must have been dreaming. Let's start over: It was business as usual in the Bush misadministration, as the Bush/Gonzales "Justice" Department put party before country and passed over "an experienced counterterrorism prosecutor" just because his wife was a Democrat.

He was an experienced terrorism prosecutor and had successfully prosecuted a high-profile terrorism case for which he received the Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service. ... The candidate’s wife was a prominent local Democrat elected official and vice-chairman of a local Democratic Party. […]

[Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Michael] Battle, [Deputy Director and Chief of Staff] Kelly, and Deputy Director Nowacki all told us that Goodling refused to allow the candidate to be detailed to EOUSA solely on the basis of his wife’s political party affiliation.

Unfuckingbelievable. Thank God these corrupt pieces of shit will be finally -- finally!! -- out of office soon.
