Bushie Award

In typical Bush Administration fashion (think George Tenet, Tommy Franks and Paul Bremer receiving Medal of Freedom awards), Robert Coughlin, who just resigned from the Justice Department, was given last year's Attorney General Award for Fraud Prevention.

David Kurtz comments:

In September, Coughlin was honored for his work on fraud and white collar crime. By the following April, he was out because of his alleged connections to the one of the largest white collar crime investigations in DOJ's history. Only in the Gonzales Justice Department.


P.S. If you need more evidence to connect the Gonzales DoJ to efforts to prevent Democratic votes, Kurtz also points out that another lawyer to receive an award (including cash) earned it by being the only one of four in the civil rights division to vote in favor of a voter identification law that was later struck down as being discriminatory to minorities.
