A Shocking Look at Bush's Civil Rights Boss

Conservative job applicants to the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division were deemed "good Americans" and "real Americans" by the former head of the division, Bradley Schlozman, according to a report released to the public last week by Justice's two watchdogs. Applicants with Democratic leanings or actual civil rights experience, on the other hand, were, in Schlozman's vocabulary, "crazy libs."

Authored by Inspector General Glenn Fine and Office of Professional Responsibility chief H. Marshall Jarrett, the report is the last in a series of four from an investigation into allegations of politicized hiring at the Justice Department.

The report's 67 pages are strewn with politically charged and racially tinged comments found in e-mails and voicemails from Schlozman, and relayed by his former colleagues in their recollections of conversations with him. The investigation even suggests Schlozman perjured himself before a congressional committee probing the U.S. Attorney firings.

"I too get to work with mold spores, but here in Civil Rights, we call them Voting Section Attorneys," Schlozman wrote in a July 2003 e-mail exchange with a former colleague. "My tentative plans are to gerrymander all of those crazy libs right out of the section."

We wouldn't have bread, beer, or penicillin.
