A Certified Idiot

I guess that when I dream about a news item it must mean something unusual. This article in yesterday's Washington Post struck a nerve if only because I had trouble figuring out whether Lurita had checked with the White House before trying to cut the GSA's budget for its Inspector General. Odds are she did, but either way it's bad news. And for those who've forgotten recent history—it was not so long ago that David Safavian, the former GSA Chief of Staff, was convicted for a scam he had going with Abramoff (a fact, btw, that should have been in the Post's story). Bad news, and bad timing.
