Report: George W. Bush aides violated Hatch Act - Josh Gerstein - POLITICO.com

“The entire [Office of Political Affairs] staff was enlisted in pursuit of Republican success at the polls and many OPA employees believed that effort was part of their official job duties,” the report concludes. “Based on the extent of the activities described below, OSC concludes that the political activities of OPA employees were not incidental to their official functions, and thus U.S. Treasury funds were unlawfully used to finance efforts to pursue Republican victories at the polls in 2006.”

I suppose that it's too much to ask that the Village Idiots remember this relentless Republican malfeasance the next time some Democrat is caught violating the spirit of the Hatch Act. But, no, IOKIYAR.

Another Glenn Beck Acolyte Takes To The Gun

In Attack’s Wake, Political Repercussions

Investigators identified the gunman as Jared Lee Loughner, 22, and said that he was refusing to cooperate with the authorities and had invoked his Fifth Amendment rights. Mr. Loughner was in custody with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Saturday night, the Pima Country sheriff’s office said.

Mr. Loughner had exhibited increasingly strange behavior in recent months, including ominous Internet postings — at least one showing a gun — and a series of videos in which he made disjointed statements on topics like the gold standard and mind control.

Gold standard. Right.
