More catch up...

...although when it comes to scandal in the Bush administration, it's getting almost impossible to keep up.

This time it's a double whammy from a single family, with Federal Housing Finance Board Chairman John T. Korsmo and his wife Michelle, who has worked as deputy chief of staff to Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao, coming under fire from the Justice Deparment for obstruction of justice in an investigation of campaign finance irregularities.

Apparently the Korsmo's threw a fundraiser for a GOP Congressional candidate where they solicited contributions from banks overseen by the FHFB, a significant ethical breach at the very least, and likely a federal crime. With obstruction charges in process, there's every indication that they new that they were doing something wrong, and doing something to cover their tracks as a result.

So, add the FHFB and Department Of Labor to the list of scandal stained agencies in the Bush administration, and take away personal ethics and political fundraising as issues he has any ground to stand on in the general election campaign.
