Justice Dept.'s Hiring Tactics Illegal, Report Says -- this is just appalling.

According to the report, Goodling would regularly ask job applicants:

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

One experienced counterterrorism prosecutor did not get a job in Washington because his wife was a Democrat. As a result, the report says, a much less experienced but politically acceptable attorney was assigned to handle counterterrorism issues.

The inspector general also concluded that Goodling ousted Assistant U.S. Attorney Leslie A. Hagen from her assignment in Washington and blocked her from other positions based on Goodling's belief that Hagen was a lesbian.

I keep thinking back to the way the Republicans tried to impeach Clinton over the Lewinsky mess, and then comparing that to this, and just boggling.

Ugh, I know. Yeah, Clinton was sleazy but that was OTT. It was like, "Well, if he lied to his wife, he could lie to the American people." Like, gimme a break. All politicians lie. But a lie about a blow job is different than lies about blowing people up.

I agree. Aren't Bush's lies about WMD in Iraq much worse? Really.
