The Ladies Are Talking

Monica Goodling, America's most partisan Justice Department hack, will testify next Wednesday about the US Attorneys scandal and the politicization of her office and the Justice Department. Now we learn that Susan Ralston is likely to testify before Henry Waxman's committee in the House. Ralston is Karl Rove's former assistant, and she also had ties to Jack Abramoff. She was apparently something of a go-between, the liaison between Abramoff and the White House. Goodling was the liaison between the DoJ and the White House.

Those are some dangerous liaisons.

By the way, if you're wondering why the oversight committee in the Senate doesn't seem to be doing anything relative to the complement in the House, that's because Joe Lieberman chairs the Senate committee and he doesn't think his job is worth his time, which could be better spent raising money for Republicans like Susan Collins.
