Two years ago, Robin C. Ashton, a seasoned criminal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, learned from her boss that a promised promotion was no longer hers. "You have a Monica problem," Ms. Ashton was told, according to several Justice Department officials. Referring to Monica M. Goodling, a 31-year-old, relatively inexperienced lawyer who had only recently arrived in the office, the boss added, "She believes you're a Democrat and doesn't feel you can be trusted."
Slate - Dahlia Lithwick: Alberto Gonzales, Zen Master
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/051107F.shtml
Dahlia Lithwick writes: "Alberto Gonzales is in his happy place. He enters the hearing room in the Rayburn Building for his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee smiling the smile of a man who sleeps well each night in the warm glow of the president's love. Gone is the testy, defensive Gonzales who testified last month before the Senate. Today's attorney general breezes into the chamber with the certain knowledge that having bottomed out in April, he has nothing left to prove. His only role in this scandal is as decoy: He's the guy who runs out in front of the hunters and draws their fire so nobody pays any attention to what's happening at the White House."
