 The Gravy Train Stops HerePosted on Apr 30, 2008
It’s the end of an era for the friends of General Services Administration chief Lurita Alexis Doan, who resigned from her post Tuesday following years of allegations of corruption and other inappropriate uses of power. Doan’s reign over the government’s chief contracting agency was riddled with contract handouts and examples of using her appointed position for political (read Republican) purposes.

Humm,
It may be late, but if not for Henry Waxman, she’d probably still be heisting until the very last escape ship leaves the dock..
TDoff, excellent observation, and you’re right…we’ve seen that for nearly 8 years…most of ‘em come from Pat Robertson’s Liberty University, or some other repuglican institution. (Nearly the whole Justice Dept. is staffed with these women from Liberty Univ.)
Anyway, thanks again to our Henry Waxman and his team. They stick with it, even when the rest of us are completely unaware…

Only in America can you work for the government, lobbyists and corporations at the same time and be paid by all of them for the same job.
Unfortunately the “patronage gravy train” never stops running, it just changes names from time to time.
I’d be smiling too if I had her three pensions to look forward to.

Another Bushie Bimbo, is it just me, or does it seem as though this administration has gone out of its way to appoint alot of “Young-Republican” women to head numerous agencies, usually without much if any experience. The qualifications seem to always begin and end with loyalty to the emporer above all else. If we had a functioning justice dept. she along with so many of her cohorts would undoubtledly be investigated and indicted…but sadly, there is no accountability in these times. And if anyone is to be held accountable its some underling far down the food chain from where the marching orders came from.

What is new soon the entire Republician party will be going to the back door.
Even if McCain were elected president the congress would be Democractic.
How many rats will leave the sinking ship when Obama or Clinton win the nomination.
