Floridians were shocked last week when police announced that the spokesman for the state's Department of Children and Families had been arrested and charged with peddling child pornography. But buried in news accounts of the case was a curious detail: the official in question had listed the state's current Republican Governor, Charlie Crist, as a reference when he applied for his post in 2005.
This is so typical in the Bush era. The absolute opposite, completely wrong, totally corrupt, turn-the-thing-on-its-head approach to government.
The Nation has an article quoting a Jonathan Turley op ed touching on this tendency. One day I mean to make a list of all the totally inappropriate - in fact, interest-opposing - appointments made by the Bush Administration.
