Monica's Own Monica Problem

[cal04]

In Alberto Gonzales's Justice Department, Democrats and liberals who couldn't land civil service jobs were said to have a "Monica Problem."

After yesterday's hearing, the Justice Department has a Monica Problem of its own.

(snip)
How many job applicants did she block because of political leanings? "I wouldn't be able to give you a number." Did she ask aspiring civil servants whom they voted for? "I may have." Did she screen applicants for career prosecutor jobs so that Republicans landed in those positions? "I think that I probably did." How many times? "I don't think that I could have done it more than 50 times, but I don't know." She further admitted that she "occasionally" researched career applicants' political affiliations and checked their political donations.

Legally, this could all add up to a major Monica Problem for Goodling, who brought three high-priced lawyers with her to the hearing. "I intend to establish a legal defense fund at some point," she told the committee.

Here's guessing that Gonzales and McNulty won't be contributing.

1. And none of those high priced shysters

are graduates of Regents. I guess when a fake lawyer needs a lawyer she gets a REAL lawyer from a real law school.

2. Monica has not money, she's fucked! Pat Robertson won't be sending any

3. She should be a Lobbyist.
