We don't like to jump on Scanner Brian's turf, but we found this particularly infuriating last night and had to share it with you. NPR is reporting that the Department of Justice -- in addition to the many people they fired simply for not showing undying fealty to the Bush Administration -- fired a Department of Justice attorney in early 2007 based simply on the rumor that she was a lesbian. Said one colleague after her firing:
"I felt at the time she was the best qualified person in the nation to
fill that job... I was never consulted about her
performance as liaison to the Native American Issues Committee, and I
never heard any criticism of her performance from any other component
within the department."
Innit great how even after years of having to put up with this sort of shit from Bush cronies, they still have the power to enrage us like it was the very first time?
