The Lowest of the Low

To take that title in the Bush administration, you have to be more than just corrupt (yawn), more than just a liar (who isn’t?), more than a greedy criminal. You have to be one serious degenerate. You have to be lower than scum.

And that distinction goes to a U.S. Attorney the Bush administration didn't fire, presumably because he's a “loyal Bushie.”

An assistant U.S. attorney from Florida was arrested in an Internet sting operation after flying to Michigan to have sex with a 5-year-old girl, authorities said Monday.

John D.R. Atchison, 53, was arrested Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after several weeks of Internet conversations between the prosecutor and a detective posing as the mother of a 5-year-old girl, authorities say.

It seems the Bush administration attracts criminals like shit attracts flies.

I can't overstate my disgust.
