Another Bush Appointee Joins the Ranks of the Convicted
Another one of Dubya’s political appointees became a convicted felon yesterday.
The OSC is the office that is supposed to protect Federal employees against retaliation when they file whistleblower complaints. It’s supposed to enforce Merit System rules and investigate complaints. Under Bloch, the OSC failed miserably.
One of the first things Bloch did when he assumed office was to publicly state that he was going to ignore Executive Orders and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) policy banning discrimination against Federal employees based on sexual orientation. He said that the EO’s and OPM policy had no basis in law and he had no intention of following them.
He also purged the headquarters office of any employees who dissented from what he was doing and illegally closed hundres of open cases without investigation. He had been under investigation by the OPM Inspector General since 2005. After the FBI raid, he ordered his employees not to cooperate with the IG investigation. He now joins a long list of former Bush officials who have been convicted of crimes while they were serving the Bush regime.
Bloch was typical of the political appointees that Dubya installed during his administration. These people came into office with a sense of entitlement, a sense that they could do anything they wanted, to hell with the law. Thankfully, we were able to rid the government of these hacks. Kay James, Lucretia Doan, and now Scott Bloch have taken their rightful places on the dung heap of a failed adminsitration, an adminsitration that ignored the law and politicized everything, including the civil service.
Yeah, as opposed to the DoD withholding information about the Ft. Hood attack from a committee and the DoJ refusing to cooperate with the Civil Rights Commission and relevant congressional committees on the Black panther decision.
When do we get to see the Obama crew frog-marched off to jail, starting with Eric Holder?
Heck, given the Blagojevich motion, how long till we see Obama cuffed, stuffed and hauled off to prison?
Um, ANM – WTF are you talking about?
There is an ongoing criminal investigation of the Ft. Hood attack. It is quite rare for any prosecutor to turn over anything to a legislature until AFTER the trial. And considering that the request came from LIEberman, it’s just grandstanding.
Instead of just throwing out BS accusations without any links or something to back up your comments, you’re just blowing in the wind. Or teabagging Glenn Beck/
Sorry, MJ. I thought I was dealing with intelligent, well-informed individuals who were familiar with recent major news stories. My mistake.
Link?
Moose – too bad you make up you’re own news.
The Ft. Hood “requests” are a red herring and would disrupt an ongoing criminal investigation. And it’s not the Black Panthers but the New Black Panther Party – quite different from the group that was around in the 1960’s.
You’re a typical race-baiting teabagger – just throw enough out there to get whitey all angry without giving the entire story. Sort of like WGOP’s Three Stooges.
ANM press reports…

Obama MAY have sold crack to underage white girls. JUST SAYIN’. what i DO know is that Eric HOlder has not yet confirmed or denied supplying O with the crack to sell to the white girls. I think all americans should be concerned that our Vice president is just standing around and letting these 2 fake americans sell crack to our precious little white flowers.
its kinda fun to be a conservative!

As for a.price and MJ, neither of you merits a response beyond noting that your pathetic attempts to play the race card where it is not warranted show you to be morally and intellectually bankrupt.
Moose – well if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black. Looking at the crap that you have posted on your website (along with all of the Cialis/Viagra spam we get from it), you should be the last person calling anyone morally or intellectually corrupt. You are a big old Texas bigot.
Like I said, MJ — you are morally and intellectually corrupt. And a hypocrite for not supplying a single link to back up your accusation.
Um, Schmuck, I mean Moose, the link to this post is the first sentence of the post. And all anyone has to do is mouse-over your name and it takes them to your horror of a website. Are you this uninformed when you’re teaching?
Dumbass — I mean MJ — I mean the link to the material supporting the accusation you made about me posting bigotry on my website.
You know, I heard that there used to be only two things in Texas. We discovered a third – ignorant assholes pretending to be educators and trolling blogs in Delaware. We don’t need to bother our readers with the ping-backs for the products you obviously need to use to make yourself feel like a real man.
Your “blog” features a picture of the President as Malcolm X. If that isn’t race-baiting to stir up the good old boys who burn crosses, I don’t know what is. It’s worse than the television commercial Jesse Helms ran against Harvey Gannt.
Well, MJ, you clearly are either illiterate or a dishonest. After all, the picture you mention is in this post, which mocks the Washington Post for putting a picture of Malcolm X to promote a story on Obama. http://rhymeswithright.mu.nu/archives/301045.php
Moose – you’re a poster child for how morally and intellectually bankrupt the right is. Do you think you can make a rhyme out of that?
And yet again you prove yourself to be a liar and a hypocrite with no actual evidence to back up your assertions, MJ. Sorry I hurt your tender little feelings by pointing out that you didn’t bother to read the post you were using to prove me racist.
Moose, look in the mirror. That face that is staring back at you is the face of a bigot. You’re just as guilty for posting that entry and throwing the red meat to the teabagging dogs as if you had photo-shopped it yourself. You’re a failure as a teacher, you’re a failure as a blogger. Hell, you’re even a failure as a Texan. It takes more than some pseudo-educator with a limp dick to hurt my feelings. I pity your students.
Get over it and start playing in your own sandbox schmuck. Be gone before we unleash our flying monkeys on you.
