Creep(s) in the DHS

If Cynthia McKinney is somehow indicative of how "Democrats respect security personnel," as Denny Hastert put it today, then this guy is indicative of how DHS employees are all pedophiles. OK? Is that how you want to play it?

Of course not. But it's serious business when a press secretary at DHS is caught soliciting a 14 year-old girl. It's more serious when another guy, this one the former head of DHS' "Operation Predator" program designed to stop child predators, pleads no contest to exposing himself to a 16 year-old. These are serious charges and demand prosecution and further review.

Here's the question: if we flipped the state prison system with everyone working for the executive and legislative branches of government, would we end up with MORE or LESS criminal activity in Washington?

Ruminate on that one.

UPDATE: Via TPM Muckraker, there's now a third. A DHS employee was caught in the infamous Dateline NBC child predator sting.

Are we talking epidemic here?
