Monica Goodling resigned suddenly last week when it became clear she was going to be left holding the bag in the Justice Department firing scandal. The Washington Post article Justice's Holy Hires goes into the fundie nature of Monica Goodling and her minions at the Department of Justice.
Goodling is one of 150 graduates of Regent University who have served in this administration, as Regent's Web site proudly proclaims. Pretty impressive for a 29-year-old school. The university says that "approximately one out of every six Regent alumni is employed in some form of government work." And that's precisely what its founder desired. The school's motto is "Christian Leadership to Change the World." Former attorney general John Ashcroft teaches at Regent, and graduates have obtained senior positions in the Bush administration. The express goal is not only to tear down the wall between church and state in America but also to enmesh the two.
I hate to say I told you so - ok ok, I love to say I told you so - but the Bush administration has gutted the Department of Justice in the name of promoting Christianity. This latest fiasco is just further evidence of their attempt at remaking the United Sates into a Christian Nation. Read it and weep.
I have hope - Bush and his cronies are in decline. The rats are starting to leave the ship. We will see many more "Goodling Departures" in the days and weeks to come. I will be counting each one.
If you want to see what this fundie soldier of Christ looks like, I found a picture here.

I'm convinced that all upstanding Christians who preach morality and the virtues associated with their faith have a skeleton in their closet.
It sure seems that way.
