When we last saw Monica Goodling’s BFF Rachel Palouse she was packing up her office (law books, Bible, coffee mug, leftover My First Investiture commemorative napkins and cake topper) and moving to a lower profile office to do God’s George Bush’s work.
Unfortunately for Princess Rachel Rainbow Sunshine Jesus Loves Me This I Know Esq. there was some kind of eager beaver gung-ho Special Counsel looking into her tenure as a U.S. Attorney and he turned in his report before she could skedaddle out of town ahead of the oncoming Muslim-Socialist barbarian horde:
An independent federal investigation has determined that former U.S. Attorney Rachel Paulose retaliated against the No. 2 person in her Minneapolis office after he filed a complaint that she had mishandled classified materials.
The announcement by the Office of Special Counsel in Washington on Wednesday appeared to be a full vindication of John Marti, the first assistant U.S. attorney, who resigned his management position in 2007, along with two other top lawyers in the Minneapolis office.
[...]
The finding, by acting Special Counsel William Reukauf, caps two years of near-constant turmoil in the local U.S. attorney’s office over Paulose’s policies and management style. The contention pitted many of the office’s career attorneys and staff against Paulose, a political appointee of President Bush.
When the U.S. Senate approved her appointment in December 2006, Paulose, then 33, was the youngest U.S. attorney in the country and the first woman to hold the post in Minnesota. She resigned in November 2007 and was reassigned to a non-supervisory position in the Department of Legal Policy within the Justice Department in Washington, D.C.
This will undoubtedly go into her PERMANENT RECORD which will have absolutely no bearing on her future employment at the Heritage Foundation or the Thomas More Law Center where such transgressions aren’t regarded as a blemish on her record so much as the stigmata inflicted by godless civil servants in the service of Satan and Pat Leahy.

Lovely.
One edit. So much appears twice in eight words.
Kills the rhythm.
Spot onn doe.
“The Tarnished Tiara” sounds like a case for Perry Mason. Come to think of it, D.A. Hamilton Burger would have kicked Paulose’s ass up and down the courthouse hall.
Good suggestion. Edited for your pleasure.

It’s things like this that make me stay up late to see what Tbogg’s up to. That and stories about Fenway and shampoo bottles.
No one could have anticipated that appointing incompetent ideologues to government jobs would lead to bad outcomes.

Hmmm. This may be a tough choice for her. I hear the Heritage foundation supplies a color guard and choir on your first day, but the Thomas More Law Center will provide a golden, diamond-studded coach for personal use. What’s a person of
Paris Hilton’sRachel Palouse’s talent to do?It’s much worse than just incompetent, these people openly hate government. Do you think she’ll get that job at McDonalds if she tells them she hates the company? Incompetent is only an annoyance, intentionally destructive AND incompetent gets us where we are today.
Add to the list that people like Rachel, for all her so-called Chrisitianity, despise people who aren’t just like she is, who don’t believe in the same God, and who don’t submit to her obviously superior intellect and attitudes. Hence the deadly combination of incompetence and blind devotion to her own infallibility. Unfortunately for our country, that was the prime qualification to work in the Bush administration.
Prime and Only qualification in many cases. See: “Brownie, Heck of a job.”
She should consider running for office; after all, she’s basically a cross between Caribou Barbie and Bobby Jindal, amirite?
Sounds like the title of a porno to me. (Rachel Goes Down)
and our election here in Georgia this week tells us the fuckers are going NOWHERE!
*sigh* Fenway is a veritable shrine…! A temple even…
Tarnished tiara is the worst that will happen to Palouse. Rs never pay.
I dunno.. what’s Goodling doing for a living these days?
I don’t know much about Martin. Any chance he’ll get a job in the administration or with the Party?
Her wiki doesn’t say. But (1) Goodling & Palouse are what Rs might describe (but would never admit) to being throwaway people. And (2) she and Goodling will never end up with more than a slap on the wrist, and Heritage, AEI or their ilk will provide a home for them until they get back in power.
He’s a lawyer
I checked too, and nothing I can find. I think she got a job with some law firm with whackjobs and married someone we know and despise.
TBogg, this Rachel Paulous character is fascinating. (Love the graphic!)
Yeah, really. I mean, what could be the ODDS on something like that?
(paging John, John the stats man) *G*
Who did she marry? Didn’t see it on teh google.
“The Tarnished Tiara” sounds like a case for
Perry Masonthe Hardly Boys…RaPalouse, RaPalouse, let down your hair
so that I may climb the gold, and scare.
Or Nancy Drew.
Oh Noes… Not the RuPaul inferences…!
I prefer: paLOUSE
The founder of RedState.
And her children will be paLICE.
Thanks. Michael KremPASTky? These names just write themselves.
Hey don’t get so stuck in the Bogg that you don’t Digg this post!
This BIT*H (female dog) should have the book thrown at her not just some entry in her Government employment record! WTF. She should go to jail or at least get probation… She should never be able to practice law again. If she says she didn’t know it was wrong well all the more reason to lift her Bar License!
What’s the deal with Sherrod Brown’s voice? Did he have vocal surgery for smoking too much or something?
So has the bar association that covers her license been eviscerated?
Rhetorical Q.
Don’t know and I don’t which Bar she passed. But they should be looking into such unethical behavior. If she was a Democrat you know the Republicans would be raising Holy Hell about it and would make sure it was mentioned ten times a day on all the MSM news(?) programs by their Reichnut pundits!
Why are Ds too dumb to live?
Another rhetorical Q.
I hate the Rs, but am completely disgusted with the Ds.
I have never watched DC make sausage until this year. Am close to bugging out from complete disgust.
Nobody expected any president, represented by people like KKKarl Rove, to absolutely say FY to the constitution. I resent the fact that nobody seems to be addressing that or sending a few to prison. That said, if WE THE PEOPLE keep demanding accountability, then maybe, just maybe they will have to do something. Democracy is not a spectator sport.
Heffelfinger resigned when he saw the writing on the wall. Instead of staying & fighting, he walked away. When asked why he resigned, he clammed up with the lame “it was time for me to move on”.
He’s only speaking out now, because he knows the rethugs can’t hurt him.
