Video from the House Oversight & Gov't. Reform Cmtes.'s investigation into Lurita Doan, GSA Administrator.

A recent Special Counsel report recommended that Pres. Bush fire Doan for violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits executive branch employees from engaging in political activity.

Bill Moyer's Journal had this clip tonight:

The Case of Lurita Doan and the GSA
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/blog/2008/02/the_curious_case_of_lurita_doa.html

You may have been familiar with the scrutiny of Blackwater¹s mercenary army, or followed the troubles with oversight at the State Department, but chances are you hadn¹t heard of Lurita Doan. She isn¹t exactly a household name. So it might be surprising that, as head of the General Services Administration, Doan oversees $500 billion dollars worth of federal assets.

On the JOURNAL, Rep. Henry Waxman explains how an investigation that started with leaks about possible favoritism in awarding government contracts eventually uncovered documents and testimony that convinced Waxman that Doan had violated the Hatch Act, a law prohibiting federal employees from using government resources for partisan purposes. Waxman was so shocked by what the Committee found that he took the unusual step of asking Doan to resign at the end of the hearings.

2. Braley is a great Representitive

I hope he runs for Senate against Grassley in 2010. He has a lot of potential.

4. Braley for Senate

I asked Bruce about running for the Senate and he said for now, he is just concentrating on learning his job as representative. Note the "for now" so maybe there is hope in a few years!
