Former top Bush aide accused of thefts

Talk about a culture of corruption ... the money quote:

Bush nominated Allen in 2003 for a seat on the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia. But the nomination -- which some Democrats opposed on concerns about Allen's views on social issues -- did not come to a vote.

Mr. Allen was a leading advocate of "abstinence only" sex education and HIV prevention programs. I wonder if he managed to shoplift any condoms on his spree?

Reuters - Claude Allen, President George W. Bush's former top domestic policy adviser, was arrested this week in Maryland for allegedly swindling two stores out of more than $5,000, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, quoting Montgomery County police.
