At first they denied it and GSA head Lurita Doan tried pulling a "Gonzo," that saying she was at the meting but did not recall what it was about, in her testimony in front of Congress.
Now they admit it. And they not only admit to having one meeting, they admit to 20. Holy fecking cripes, if that is not the definition of in for a penny in for a pound we here at Monkey Muck HQ don't know what is then.
From the AP story on this mess:
Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino said no laws were broken and that the White House counsel's office signed off on the effort.
"It's not unlawful and it wasn't unusual for informational briefings to be given," Perino said. "There is no prohibition under the Hatch Act of allowing political appointees to talk to other political appointees about the political landscape in which they are trying to advance the president's agenda."
She added: "These briefings were not inappropriate, they were not unlawful, they were not unethical."
Some Democrats beg to differ.
Actually, all sane people would beg to differ. We can all only hang on and pray to what ever dark gods we believe in that reality catches up with these thugs who are occupying the White House.
And when it does, maybe, just maybe they will be all hauled off to prision in handcuffs.

What's really crazy is that after all of the other crap that took place, the White House is getting trouble for the Hatch Act. It's like arresting a drunk driver that has recklessly killed several pedestrians with speeding.
