thinkprogress.org — Remember Lurita Doan, the forgetful Bush official who gave Rove's PowerPoint presentation to her appointees, explaining how to help "our candidates"? “An Office of Special Counsel report has found that Doan violated the Hatch Act, which bars federal officials from engaging in partisan political activities."

Yep, typical Bush admistration lack of ethics.She did wrong. But why is she mad? Is she angry at herself for being an unethical scumbag?Nope. Like most right wingers, it's not about integrity, it's about appearances.She's angry because people found out what a scumbag she is.And now rightards like thcobbs will do their pathetic best to ignore the ethical lapses of their chosen party and pretend it's not part of a pattern of unethical abuse of power. They are eager for us to forget about yet ANOTHER ethical lapse from the Bush administration. But the losers will continue to defend President Traitor and his morally and ethically bankrupt administration. Nothing like spending your days attempting to explain away ethical lapse after scandal after corruption after sex crime, eh thcobbs?

No, not at all. He's perfectly entitled to meet with his campaign adviser anywhere he pleases. He can't use public resources however, such as phones, computers, staff, and so on. This was refuted months ago, so if you keep bringing it up as if it's true, I can only assume you're lying vs. wrong.

@thcobbs, I'm inclined to agree with you, except for the "next problem?" line. This problem isn't resolved by simply firing her. This is an endemic problem in the WH.

@thcobbs, don't make me be sorry for defending you. Can you name someone in the Bush Administration who understands the word integrity? Pick someone in high office right now. Loyalty, they know very well. Loyalty to a fault. But this word is different. It's related to telling the truth.
