Watch her sizzle

The General Services Administration is a government office which is in charge of federal buildings and office supplies and the like -- generally not what you would think of as a highly partisan operation. (Although, you can certainly see a potential for contracting scams and kickbacks). Anyhow, Federal law prohibits the use of federal buildings or public employees' time for partisan political purposes (I suppose exemptions have to be made for Congress and the White House).

Watch GSA chief Chief Lurita Doan squirm as she gets grilled by Henry Waxman's committee about a presentation made to GSA bigs by a member of Karl Rove's political office AT GSA HQ DURING WORK HOURS. I mean, they have her nailed on this.

Oh yes, she should have taken the Fifth. Agressively and Repeatedly. Very satisfying. Remember: This was almost certainly a federal crime. And they got nailed.

Would arranging or signing off on this meeting make Karl Rove an accessory, or part orf a conspiracy to break federal law?
