Federal investigation targets Doan.

“The Office of Special Counsel confirmed to ABC News it has launched an investigation into General Services Administration chief Lurita Doan, probing concerns she may have violated a ban against conducting partisan political activity at government expense by participating in a meeting featuring a presentation by a White House political aide on GOP election strategy.”

    Ms Beasley is going down. But she won’t be lonely.


  2. Jake says:

    Now the President can’t fire those investigators or the U.S. Attorney for D.C.!! Says so right in the Constitution.


  3. Zoo says:

    Make sure there are cookies on the table, please.


  4. Jake says:

    Not just ANY “White House political aide” either ; )


  5. Real RedNeck says:

    This is what I’m talking about! Wasting money for someone who forgot a detail or two. What’s the big F’n Deal?


  6. Fr. Goathead says:

    Yeah, really Doan, do your patriotic duty and down a couple bottles of your famous pills.


  7. helenahandbasket says:

    doan is going down.

    New bush administration vodka ad:

    Absolut Corruption.


  8. Angry One says:

    As with Alberto Gonzales, expect the GOP and its amen corner to try to protect Doan with the new “Diversity Defense.”


  9. Zimzone says:

    They must have taken her fingerprints off the water glass.

    Maybe KKKarl can ’splain what the powerpoint was intended to do.

    Better yet, maybe he could rap on Insannity & Combs tonight.

    Why not just re-name our country the “United States of the Republican Party.” Party over country is what Ms. Doan and the rest of the NeoCons have proven their mantra is. We might as well be living in circa 1930s Germany…

    Comment by Real RedNeck

    This is by far the most ‘forgetful’ buch of people that ever lived. It’ just incredibly insulting at this point for everyone to have forgotten so much in such a short time span. It’s bullshit is what it is and I’m sick of it, and sick of apologists like you who want our country to keep heading on down the road to absolute dictatorship.


  12. Anderson says:

    Lurita, Lurita….yes, you’ve become a ‘target’, but only because you lied and broke the law.

    Oversight is so refreshing.

    Redneck: “This is what I’m talking about! Wasting money for someone who forgot a detail or two. What’s the big F’n Deal?”

    Repubs spent $6 or 7 mil investigating the reason why the Clintons let a few people in their own Whitehouse travel office go. They spent over $10 million investigating why two file boxes were mistakenly put into a closet instead of being moved across the street to another storage facility. Kenneth Starr spent $70 million investigating “Whitewater,” a 20-year old land deal in which the Clintons LOST $250K.

    At least in this case, the investigation is about someone breaking a law. It’s called the Hatch Act. It’s federal law.

    Go easy on him BlueDog…

    He has selective amnesia like she did at her hearing!

    You remember that, don’t you Redneck?

    Hahahahahahahahahaha…what a jack*ss


  15. FunMe says:

    If she felt “paranoid” before, imagine her now!

    LIARS and Criminals eventually ALL fall!


  16. Raymond Funamoto says:

    Lurita, YOU CAN’T CLAIM INSANITY AS A DEFENSE—NO CRAZY PERSON COULD HAVE WOVEN SO MANY BASKETS AS YOU DID SO SKILLFULLY!!!!! AND IN YOUR PADDED CELL YET!!!!!

    This is what I’m talking about! Wasting money for someone who forgot a detail or two. What’s the big F’n Deal?

    So, you’re saying you have absolutely no idea what this is about.


  18. chimpeach says:

    Good! Let’s see how arrogant she gets when she’s in front of a judge.


  19. NoMoreBush says:

    When the FBI knocks on her door asking for Lurita Doan, will she remember her name? BTW, what the hell kind of name is “Lurita” — sounds like one of those redneck names that little redneck girls get when they try feminize pappy’s name — like “Charlene,” “Earlene,” “Carlene” — “Lurita, honey, put down your banjo and come to suppah.”


  20. bob (not the hacker) says:

    re 19

    that’s a good question, ask rednosedredneck. It’s probably his mother/aunt’’s name.


  21. veritas says:

    It’s “groanin’ time” now for Doan. Wasn’t there once some sort of little pill called “Doan’s Pills”??


  22. veritas says:

    Lurid Lurita will be her new moniker! Wonder what else she’s been up to?


  23. the republic of stupidity says:

    May I be so rude as to point out, ahem, that claiming “I don’t remember” over and over and over on the stand is a time honored gambit of organized crime, which the Bush Admin is resembling more and more w/ each passing fiasco. Isn’t it time to just RICO the whole damned lot of them?


  24. big papa says:

    Bushiva’s “pardon list”…

    …just got longer…


  25. Anon says:

    Shit happens when ya appoint another incompetent for a $200K political contribution. And she managed to all this in only 8 short months.


  26. Sister Faith says:

    What I don’t get is she “may have” violated the Hatch Act.

    Seems like a no brainer to me.

    She did and one of Karl’s puppies, and every other Federal agency with had the presentation are guilty.

    No maybe about it!!!


  27. lou klotz says:
