NO POLITICS, PLEASE (and the lies and BS continue with this Turd of a President) ”Democrats complained endlessly about the supposed 'politicization' of the Bush Justice Department,” Hans A. von Spakovsky writes in a blog at National Review Online (www.nationalreview.com). ”When asked about this at his confirmation hearing, Eric Holder piously pledged that his Justice Department would 'serve justice' and 'not the fleeting interests of any political party.' America, he intoned, was 'in dire need of a less political and more independent Justice Department.' ”But an e-mail and [flier] recently circulated to Justice Department employees indicate Attorney General Holder has an interesting definition of what it means to be 'less political.' The [flier] invites all employees to attend a speech in the main Justice building on Pennsylvania Avenue. In fact, it notes, all '*upervisors are encouraged to grant official time to employees to attend this event.' ”And what pillar of the legal profession will be lecturing Justice employees to help them 'serve justice' in a 'less political' way? Why, none other than Donna Brazile, whose own Web-site biography describes her as a 'veteran Democratic political strategist' and a vice chairman at the Democratic National Committee.' “Brazile is marketed by more than one speaker´s bureau at a cost ranging from $10,000 to $20,000. The [flier] doesn't say how many taxpayer dollars are going to pay a Democratic political consultant to speak to career employees at the Justice Department (sounds like a good FOIA request). Good thing the Department is no longer politicized,” Mr. von Spakovsky said.
