Goodling Gets Hitched
Monica Goodling is set to cross the line -- into matrimony.
The former Justice Department White House liaison of U.S. attorneys firing fame is engaged to blogger Mike Krempasky, one of the founders of Redstate. (Presumably he passed Goodling's questionnaire with flying colors.)
The legal blog Above The Law, which first reported the engagement, has some nice pictures. Krempasky confirmed the news in an email.
One wonders: will Alberto Gonzales and former Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty be invited to the wedding? Probably not.













I wish them the best. Will they home-school?

I wish them well also, but I wonder if they have held true to conservative Christian values?
Are they both virgins? If not have they engaged in pre-marital sex with each other? If they have had sex with each other, have they used birth control? If they have had sex together but not used birth control is she pregnant?
Not that any of those question are my or anyone else's business, I am just curious as to how committed to their beliefs they are.

Steve, don't you remember she wrote a paper in school on out of wedlock pregnancies?
She probably knows some ways to avoid that.
The bigger question is, how big a family, and will she home-school? Can they trust anyone but themselves to pass along "the truth?" I have my doubts!

"Above the Law" is hella fitting.

My goodness, those engagement photos are just hideous! I mean really, they don't have tanning beds in Virginia? And the guy! My gaydar hasn't gone off that bad since Larry Craig!
(I give it 6 months)

LOL! Those photos are hideous. In today's Daily Muck, I commented that Monica looks like she is fifty years old and has really packed on the pounds. Expert baker that she is purported to be, she probably is eating her own product.
Monica, Monica. We know your heart will always belong to John Ashcroft.

I think the real question is which one told the other something that requires the spousal exemption for compelled testimony.

BTW, I checked Abovethelaw.com Goodling archives and there is an item about Kyle Sampson. Looks like the little weasel landed on his feet, thanks to the Mormon Mafia.
From the Salt Lake City Tribune:
"Three Washington lawyers with Utah ties - including the chief of staff to former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales - are joining the food and drug practice at the firm Hunton & Williams.
D. Kyle Sampson, a Cedar City native, was Gonzales' chief of staff at the Justice Department until he resigned amid a controversy over the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys, a move that spawned congressional investigations. Sampson, who compiled the list of attorneys who were fired, testified for hours before House and Senate committees in public hearings and private interviews."

My oh, my oh me, Mrs. P and TheraP,
How good it is, you both to see.
TheraP, I remember some papers I wrote in college also, one or two that disagreed with my personal beliefs that confirmed the instructors' point of view. My purpose was to get a better grade in a course that had no moral, ethical or legal ramifications, then or in the future, to me or others. (Shakespeare should be performed in the round as opposed to being presented on a proscenium stage.) No conflict or future ramifications for a Business Major.
I suspect that many people in the Bush administration have personal beliefs that they set aside to get or retain a position that resulted in damage to the people of America with decisions that were probably mandated to them by political appointees in the White House. That I find objectionable.
As far as their future ability to home school, I hope any government financial assistance for home schooling will dissapear with a new administration, along with efforts to give creditability to creationism or intelligent design as alternatives to Evolution. Or as they now must say here in Florida, the Theory of Evolution.
I'm about to start reacting to idiot republicans similar to Lewis Black's reaction to idiocy.

Above the Law, Beneath Contempt.
Also, ass-kissing genuinely powerful people does not make you a powerful person anymore than cheering on a sports team makes you an athlete.
Any influence Goodling had was recompense for how much trouble she could land her superiors in.
The other guy has a website - well done, he's practically an Oppenheimer or a Hilton then.
The photos are appalling in a way that only white Americans can achieve, a superhuman stiltedness that speaks of their deep love for one another.
