Yellow Dog

Move over Libby, Safavian, and Abramoff (and Rove, who's still under investigation for treason)--there's always room for another indictment when your administration is filled with as many crooks and criminals as the Bush administration:

Claude A. Allen, who resigned last month as President Bush's top domestic policy adviser, was arrested this week in Montgomery County for allegedly swindling Target and Hecht's stores out of more than $5,000 in a refund scheme, police said.

Allen, a former deputy secretary in the Department of Health and Human Services, was nominated in 2003 to a federal appeals court seat. He was appointed the president's top domestic policy adviser last year at the start of Bush's second term. Working out of a small office on the second floor of the West Wing, Allen shaped administration policy on such issues as health care, space exploration, housing and education.

Add this criminal behavior to the growing list of incompetent Bush appointees, such as Brown and Chertoff at FEMA and Gale Norton at the EPA (who recently resigned--could it be she was finally apprehended turning over environmental regulations in order to appease special interests and big business?). Stay tuned for more of this unfolding saga on "All the President's (Law-Breaking) Men."
