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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
