I'm plagiarizing here, but it's apropo: Mr G. was known as both a good & original essayist. Of course, what was good was not original and what was original was not good.

From the White House press release:
"Today, Tim accepted responsibility for the columns published under his name in his local newspaper, and has apologized for not upholding the standards expected by the President. "
I'd say he upheld the elastic "standards expected by the President" the way the President does, by stealing and lying to push the President's political agenda. One more Mayberry Machiavellian.
"The President was disappointed to learn of the matter, and he was saddened for Tim and his family. He has long appreciated Tim's service, and he knows him to be a good person who is committed to his country."
Translation: Loyal Bushy or not, we don't need Tim anymore. He got caught and Karl's gone now.

jeez, he even has that dweeby, square republican 'look' down...

This behavior is typical of the kind of people Bush has installed throughout the federal government: loyal, dumb-as-rocks, all appearance no substance. These are the people who cheated throught college (if they even went) and got others to do their homework for them. They have few original thoughts and lack an interest in learning. Perhaps worse, they are ignorant of government, law, and the nation's traditions.

They are allowed to get away with it, until someone calls 'em on it.

Purposely chosen for a complete lack of intellectual honesty and integrity, just like the Boss!

Funny picture. He looks exactly like Harold, from Harold and Maude. Only, I guess he's sort of the mirror image. Crazy in exactly all the opposite ways.

From the article the moore posted: "Mr. Goeglein -- an earnest speaker who punctuates his conversation with the phrase ''and I really do mean this''"

I guess someone can speak earnestly while lieing his ass off, but you'd think that a reporter would have honed his/her people skills enough to know that when someone has to keep telling you how much they "mean this" they don't mean it one damn bit, but hey, the guys a good Christian so its all good.

A real go-getter, but hey, c'mon guys. The crime ain't that big. We all know the sort of person Arbusto attracts (and wants). No surprises here, and if you are outraged you haven't been paying attention.
