ePluribus Media article Bush Overloads Civil Rights Commision with GOP members by writer Andrew Brenner illustrates how the Republicans packed this Commission with partisans.

Abigail Thernstrom, who had been appointed to the board as a Republican in 2001, changed her party affiliation to Independent in an attempt to skirt federal regulations.

What Cho said!
Excellent piece. It is no longer a source of amazement how none of the rules seem to apply to the Bush administration, but it is still heartbreaking to see the damage they are doing. The lies are so brazen that everything they say and do is under suspicion. Abigail Thernstrom is a lying old conservative bimbo.
