Maddow's Thankful for...

Last Wednesday, just before Thanksgiving, Rachel Maddow went on a long list of indicted, convicted, resigned, or imprisoned former Bush appointees who were incompetent, dishonest, evil, abusive of their power, or "all of the above". It took MSNBC a few days to put up the transcript, but here's the condensed list of despicable morons (lest they be too quickly forgotten).

• Julie A. McDonald, deputy assistant secretary at the Department of the Interior
• Steven Griles, the number two guy D of I.
• Roger Stillwell from the Office of Insular Affairs
• Robert Coughlin chief of the criminal division at the Justice Department
• David Safavian chief of staff in the General Services Administration!
• Lester Crawford, Commissioner of the FDA
• Claude Allen, the assistant to the president for domestic policy
• Brian Doyle, deputy press secretary for Homeland Security
• Frank Figueroa, who had been the head of Operation Predator. Homeland Security
• John Korsmo, chairman of the federal housing board & his wife deputy chief of staff at the Labor Department.
• Carl Truscott, head of the ATF
• Ken Tomlinson, chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
• Dusty Foggo, Executive Director of the CIA
• Janet Rehnquist, inspector general at Health and Human Services
• David Smith, deputy assistant secretary for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks
• Philip Cooney, the chief of staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality

• Thomas Scully, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

A longer list can be found here, here, here (C&L), and a 2004 version here.

(I thought I had published this earlier, but somehow it remained in Draft for a month... hmmm)
