Must See Video

You absolutely have to look at the video of
General Services Administration Chief Lurita Doan as she is cut to ribbons by Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA). Apparently she had Scott Jennings in for a brown bag lunch to talk to her people about "team building." The evidence Waxman's committee has uncovered should put her in Club Fed for violations of the Hatch Act. Her answers in the clip show her using the Scooter Libby defense. We all know how that worked out for Scooter.

UPDATE: A review of the US Office of Special Counsel's Offical Hatch Act for Federal Employees website clearly demonstrates that Lurita Doan and Scott Jennings violated the Hatch Act. Unfortunately the Penalties for Violating the Hatch Act are as follows:

An employee who violates the Hatch Act shall be removed from their position, and funds appropriated for the position from which removed thereafter may not be used to pay the employee or individual. However, if the Merit Systems Protection Board finds by unanimous vote that the violation does not warrant removal, a penalty of not less than 30 days' suspension without pay shall be imposed by direction of the Board.


If Ms Doan goes away for her performance it will be for perjury or misleading congress.
