And I gotta tell ya, I'm just broken up about it. No, really. Oh, and there's this too....
The Justice Department considered political affiliation in screening applicants for immigration court judgeships for several years until hiring was frozen in December after objections from department lawyers, current and former officials said yesterday.
The disclosures mean that the Justice Department may have violated civil service laws, which prohibit political considerations in hiring, for as long as two years before the tenure of Monica M. Goodling, the former aide to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales who testified about the practice this week.
So, you see Monica was really just following the established policy of politicizing the Justice Department, you don't think that a graduate of a 5th tier law school and ex-Student Council president could have come up with that on her own do you? Besides, she was too busy measuring that nekkid bimbo with the scales in the lobby of DoJ for a drape.
I'm sure that this won't be my last allusion to this, but every time I hear "Goodling" I think of some faery-tale creature from a Terry Brooks novel or something .... "The shape-shifter Goodlings waited for the Shannara brothers to come home from the pub so they could accost them as they entered the forest..." or something.
