the government I fear. It's the weasels in it.

Olbermann suggests adding "protecting young teenage girls from Homeland Security personnel" to the job description for Homeland Security employees.

that everyone noticed that the culprit was actually the head of Operation Predator, the campaign against predatory pedophiles?

The head of Operation Predator was a child sex predator? Jesus Christ people. I'd like to know how this guy got his job...that law enforcement agent, Frank Figueroa, used to run Operation Predator. The victim, a 16-year-old girl, said Figueroa pulled up a leg of his shorts, exposed himself and masturbated for about 10 minutes, according to the Tampa Tribune.

in the news que a little more than 5 hours ago:

Globe & Mail He's an official from Homeland Security that was arrested for Internet Luring. His name is Brian J. Doyle, he's 55-years-old.

What a scumbag! Don't they investigate the people they hire?

Cardinal...you're absolutely right. I knew of a guy in a company where I worked. One day the police came to the company wanting to speak to him. Turned out he was a convicted sex offender. He had spoken several times about a boy's baseball team he coached. He was fired from the job when the company found out he had lied about his criminal past.

repugnic*nt minions of debauchery.

...'cause I'm going to lay one on you.

I think there's a whole cadre of people out there who, heaven forbid, are largely apolitical but immensely self-interested. They see the Republicans as the party of money, and they want some of that, plus the ticket to the kind of "respectability" the Republicans like to think they own.

These goons loved, for example, going to Florida and threatening Dems in 2000. They put some sweat into campaigns and were given lower-middle level jobs in Washington. They profess to be Christians. They think Randy Cunningham was just doing what comes naturally. They have fantasies about Anne Coulter. They have enjoyed playing Secret Service guys at Bush speeches, throwing the protesters out, giving 'em a swat or grabbing a tit. They entertain themselves with stuff like shoplifting Target, diddling kids. They expect to be protected by the Party. There are probably another several hundred out there who have done godwful stuff and gotten away with it -- because they were indeed protected by the Party. It's probably just another reason why Papa Bush reportedly said the other day in San Antonio that civility has departed from Washington even as he apparently didn't mention his son during his speech.

Dateline article I feel physically ill. If prison and counseling doesn't work, what does or will?
