House Oversight Finds WH Sought Gov’t Help for GOP CandidatesAfter lots of fun testimony, the House Oversight has released a draft report finding that the White House “enlisted agency heads across government in a coordinated effort to elect Republican candidates to Congress,” directing them “”to make hundreds of trips — most at taxpayer expense — for the purpose of increasing the electability of Republicans” in the 2006 elections.
If you’ll remember, this whole ordeal involved infamous Karl Rove aide Scott Jennings and Lurita “Private Sass” Doan, former head of the General Services Administration.
After a tactful presentation by Jennings, Doan had the good sense to ask the assembled officials “how ‘we’ could help ‘our candidates’ in the next election.”
