Scandals? I've got yer scandals right here...

...and it seems like I've got more to track every day.

Actually, one is making a repeat appearance here. It nearly slipped my mind, because it's been a month or so since I posted about John and Michelle Korsmo, former chair of the Federal Housing Finance Board and former DOL official, respectively, and their troubles with the Justice Deparment over apparent violation of campaign finance laws. This is a good one, with officials of two deparments targeted in a single investigation.

Damfacrats offers the plight of Daniel Montgomery, the Bush appointee to the post of Executive Director of the Air Transportation Stabilization Board, who's come under fire for accepting various inducements from the airlines he's supposed to be overseeing loans for.

My list already has the Office of the Vice President, the Department of Energy, the Department of Justice, the Deparment of Defense and the Department of Health & Human Services. Now we can add the FHFB, Labor and Transportation. I just can't imagine that Education and HUD can be far behind.

And Colin Powell is the Secretary of State, which is scandalous enough in its own right.

This has to be the most scandal ridden Administration in American history.


Update: I've made a correction. Although they're charged with banking regulation, the FHFB is an independent agency, not part of the Department of the Treasury. I was right about one thing, though - HUD isn't far behind at all. The FHFB isn't part of HUD, but the HUD Secretary is a member of the FHFB board of directors...
