That Lamb Is Being Dressed

Now with Monica Goodling likely heading for testimony before Congress (with full immunity), the White House has a new plan. Looks to me like she's going to be set up to take the fall:

Newsweek reports that the Justice Department has “confirmed it’s investigating whether [Monica] Goodling improperly assessed the political loyalties of applicants for career assistant U.S. attorney posts.” The probe began “after Jeff Taylor, the interim U.S. attorney in D.C., complained that Goodling tried to block the hiring of a prosecutor in his office for being a ‘liberal Democratic type.’”
Wonder if this little intimidation investigation will piss her off enough to actually tell the truth?

Goodie gumdrops! I do hope Rove is trying to spin it so Monica takes the fall. Because, do you really think it's possible for anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature to believe that a 35-year-old LIAISON WITH THE WHITE HOUSE thought all this stuff up by herself? Right Karl, that's really going to save your pathetic ass.
