What's new... just a little PR from the "ethical Washington Watchdog".....

This is a very high level appointment. This guy is not simply a pencil pusher. I am not sure if Bush and Ashcroft toasted with this guy on his promotion, but people appointed by Bush and Ashcroft definitely did. Personnel is policy.
