New WH Policy Chief Was "GOP Rioter" During Bush-Gore Recount

Well, well... surely this should not surprise anyone, by this time.

But it is nevertheless, sickening, and just shows the unbelievable corruption we face.

New WH Policy Chief Was "GOP Rioter" During Bush-Gore Recount:

"The man Bush tapped to fill Karl Rove's spot as his policy wizard is none other than Joel Kaplan, who took part in the infamous 'Brooks Brothers riot' of 2000. That's when a bunch of Washington GOP operatives, posing as outraged Floridians, waved fists, chanted 'Stop the fraud!' and pounded windows in an effort to intimidate officials engaged in the Florida recount effort.

In George Bush's Washington, there's no shame in staging a fake protest to undermine a democratic election, apparently: last year, the Washington Post's Al Kamen noted that 'the 'rioters' proudly note their participation on resumes and in interviews.' Kaplan was even the one to cheekily dub the fracas the 'Brooks Brothers Riot.'"
