I just can't wait for the Bush administration to pass into history so that historians can deal with these creeps. I hope they effectively communicate to those who follow us what a terrible administration looks like so that they do not repeat the error. The greedy eating the dead….what a great republican legacy!

As an attorney representing an accounting firm (with no axe to grind on any side), I had to deal with her when she worked on the House Committee in the early 90's in connection with its investigation of Travelgate. She had absolutely no interest in the truth; just in scoring points for her side -- which was to destroy the Clintons at all costs. She literally walked in the room screaming at my witness and me before any testimony had even been taken for no reason other than her pre-conceived notion that the testimony might be unfavorable to her anti-Clinton agenda. I hadn't heard of her then, so I was, naively, shocked that a governmental employee (and a staffer, at that) could be so maniacally partisan and, indeed, unhinged. Since then, she's been on my radar screen, so I now realize that what I had to deal with was symptomatic. She is trouble with a capital T.
