Scumbag liar with a stupid fucking voice
The Schloz:
To Bradley Schlozman, they were "mold spores," "commies" and "crazy libs."
He was referring to the career lawyers in the Justice Department’s civil rights and voting rights divisions. From 2003 to 2006, Schlozman was a Bush appointee who supervised them. Along with several others, he came to symbolize the mid-level political appointees who brought a hard-edged ideology to the day-to-day workings of the Justice Department. "My tentative plans are to gerrymander all of those crazy libs right out of the section," he said in an e-mail in 2003. "I too get to work with mold spores, but here in Civil Rights, we call them Voting Section attorneys," he confided to another friend.
He hoped to get rid of the "Democrats" and "liberals" because they were "disloyal" and replace them with "real Americans" and "right-thinking Americans."
He appears to have succeeded by his standards, according to an inspector general’s report released Tuesday. Among the newly hired lawyers whose political or ideological views could be discerned, 63 of 65 lawyers hired under Schlozman had Republican or conservative credentials, the report said.
Slapping "a bunch of . . . attorneys really did get the blood pumping and was even enjoyable once in a while," Schlozman wrote three years later when he left to become the U.S. attorney in Kansas City, Mo.
Schlozman surrounded himself with like-minded officials at the Department of Justice. When he was due to meet in 2004 with John Tanner, then chief of the Voting Section, he asked how Tanner liked his coffee.
"Mary Frances Berry style — black and bitter," Tanner replied by e-mail, referring to the African American woman who chaired the U.S. Civil Rights Commission from 1993 to 2004.
Amused, Schlozman circulated the e-mail. "Y’all will appreciate Tanner’s response," he wrote.

According to the report, Schlozman circumvented many of his colleagues and arranged the hiring of lesser-qualified applicants based on their conservative political ideology.
The jobs involved were not political appointments but career positions for which candidates, according to federal law and guidelines, are to be selected for their qualifications, not their political or ideological leanings.
In one Jan. 30, 2004, e-mail, Schlozman declined a lunch invitation from a colleague, citing a previous commitment to interview "some lefty who we’ll never hire."
In a March 5, 2004, message, he referred to potential hires in another division of the department as "commies" and said that "as long as I’m here, adherents of Mao’s little red book need not apply."
Nowadays the Schloz works here where he specializes in "Employment Law".
I shit you not.
At the bottom of his profile page:
Brad has spoken on civil rights issues and criminal justice matters.
Yeah. So we hear…
I suppose that it is just a bonus that Schlozman’s attorney is Chairman of the Georgia State Ethics Commission.
Oooooo! Fun.

Time to clean out the Augean stables.
Ever notice that rats and Schlozmans both are chinless? In fact the only way to tell them apart is the Schloz castrato squeak is a bit higher pitched.
Holy crap, it says on the Schloz’s resume that he graduated from Geo. Washington U. law school, where Jonathan Turley now teaches. Wonder if Prof. Turley ever knew this turd.
DC’s a shithouse but it’s got to be Seventh Heaven compared to a Seventh Day Adventist fundy bedlam like fucking Kansas. Christ, what a way to talk about other people. Can you imagine what his fucking children will be like?
I like my coffee Bradley Schlozman style — weak, white and artificially sweet.
AL-VINNN!
The operative word here is mold. It’s going to take a long time to clean all of the crud like this jerkoff that has been festering in the walls for the last eight years.
The Civil Rights decision has been suffering a severe case of Toxic Schloz Syndrome. Here’s hoping they make a full recovery.
Michael Savage in a more expensive suit.
There’ll be room in Gitmo soon for him.
These people should be shunned. Anyone that associates with them or employ’s them should also be shunned. All clients of the firm he works for should be contacted and informed as to just what the Schloz thinks of minorities and if they really want to do business with a firm that employs such people. If the law will not prosecute people like Schloz then the people need to make it clear that he is a pariah and all who associate with him are pariah’s too.
When did the Schloz lose the wingnut face mullet? In his Hinkins photo he looks like a disarming fuck of a teddy bear; with WFM he’s more villianous. (And all bets are off when he turns on the helium.)
I love that expression on his face. It’s as if he’s just walked in on a close female relative entertaining two Dobermans on his childhood bed at once, which, come to think of it, would explain quite a lot about his philosophy and demeanor.
Why is it that a majority of Bush’s willing executioners look remarkably similar to Himmler, only fatter and pastier?

The advent of corn syrup as an ersatz sugar? Melamine as a food additive? Flyash in the drinking water supply? PCBs in his father’s semen? Lotsa possibilities for their fucking fatness. These possibilities are merely illustrative, with no pretense to the exhaustive.
This guy is the perfect personification for what’s wrong with this country. We’ve been Schlozmanized – competency has been replaced by the ideology of conservative incompetence and veneration to Bush instead of the Constitution. This ding-dong needs to get special attention when Obama’s DOJ comes online. I’m sure Brad has plenty of dimes to drop to save his smarmy, ideological arse.
This man is justly a laughingstock to anyone who has paid any attention to the US attorney story whatsoever.
So… this fuckneck isn’t actually going to be punished for any of this, is he?
I don’t mean to get all ad hominem on the guy, but I just watched the TPM vid linked above. Is that really Schlozman’s voice? Or was he huffing helium between evasive answers?
Most likely not. I expect very few members of the Bush Administration will be punished in any substantial way. Sad, but that’s how it is in the twilight of the American empire. At least they’ll be far less influential.
If there really is a god, they’ll be liberals–just for spite!
Rumor has it that Babs trains them on the finca in Paraguay.
Wait, wait! Georgia has an Ethics Commission? What the hell do they do? Oh, you mean the country of Georgia, right? Maybe they have one. I understand their politicians are more enlightened than in the state of Georgia.
Sadly, Ted, if you examine his statements, then see that he specializes in benefits & employment law, you can bet your ass that his clients are vicious capitalist pigs, who love his union- & employee-busting ways.
Though I suspect that his competence will come into play, & the sacred “market” will put him on the fry line at Wendy’s soon enough.
Funny! But I see the face of a man trying to bluff his way out of trouble. “How can you even think…? Do you really believe that I…? It’s like you don’t even know me! What is wrong with you?!?”
