But I'll do my best.

The Justice Department is far from the only government agency troubled by politicization under the Bush administration. All you have to do is spin the wheel.
So today, it's the Fish and Wildlife Service! And at the center of it is one Julie A. MacDonald, appointed by Bush to be the deputy assistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks at the Interior Department. The very ugly details of her malfeasance have been exposed by an inspector general report. (Update: MacDonald, by the way, has a degree is in civil engineering and has no formal educational background in natural sciences.)
Ms. MacDonald, whose job is to oversee policy decisions on endangered species and other wildlife, sent internal agency documents to industry lobbyists (e.g. she twice sent "internal Environmental Protection Agency documents — one involving water quality management — to individuals whose e-mail addresses ended in 'chevrontexaco.com,") and generally ran roughshod over agency scientists.
They laid the groundwork for this b.s. with Cheneys "Secret Energy Task Force" 6 freaking years ago and the Supremes let them get away with it.
I'm guessing people whose email addys end in "chevrontexaco.com" were in on Cheneys secret meetings. And they are trying to destroy our country.

I'm not a happy camper this morning.
I don't blame you, Paddy.
The courts have become so loaded with Busheviks, I'm not sure how we override, or even compensate for, some of these criminal acts any more.
I can barely get through the news these days without screaming.
