Dubya's Monica, and her Spoils.

"'Thirty-four candidates told investigators that Goodling or one of her deputies raised the topic of abortion in job interviews and 21 said they discussed same-sex marriage, the report said. Another job applicant said he admired Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, only to watch Goodling 'frown' and respond, 'But she's pro-choice.'"

I mean, given all the other crimes and corruption within this sordid administration, why not throw in some good old-fashioned spoilsmanship? Another protracted investigation comes to a head today, as a 140-page internal report breaks down the illegal staffing system in Dubya's Justice Department, as run by GOP apparachik Monica Goodling. [Mukasey reaction.] The report "concluded yesterday that Goodling and others had broken civil service laws, run afoul of department policy and engaged in 'misconduct.''"
