Politics: Good Riddance

Barbara Comstock, the scuzzy spokesperson in charge of bald-faced lies at the Justice Department will be departing for a public relations job at a lobbying firm, Blank Rome Government Relations.

Here's an excerpt from release about her new job:

Previously, she served as Director of Research and Strategic Planning at the Republican National Committee responsible for developing and managing the research operations utilized for the Bush 2000 campaign. In 2001, Comstock developed the RNC's "Winning Women" communications initiative and Web site to promote the Bush Administration's policies to women voters.

It's nice that there isn't the appearance of rewarding government insiders with peach jobs when they are tired of earning nothing for their particular cause. I know both sides do this, and I don't have any problem saying I think it's grotesque on all counts.
