If you think you've been seeing an awful lot of stories lately about Bush Administration appointees being investigated, prosecuted, or jailed...well, you're right. Associated Press has released a list of Bush appointees who have left office in disgrace and/or are under investigation.
Below I've listed just the names and positions of the Fishy Fifteen. Take a look at the article for complete descriptions of each appointee's personal scandal. Some of them you've definitely heard of - others might come as new information.
- Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to VP Dick Cheney
- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
- Paul Wolfowitz, current president of the World Bank and former deputy Defense Secretary
- J. Steven Griles, former deputy Interior Secretary (Abramoff alert!)
- David Safavian, former OMB administrator
- Roger Stillwell, former Interior Department official who worked on Marianas Islands issues (Abramoff alert!)
- Sue Ellen Wooldridge, former Justice Department prosecutor
- Matteo Fontana, Department of Education official
- Claude Allen, former domestic policy adviser to the President
- Philip Cooney, former chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality
- Darleen Druyun, former Air Force procurement officer
- Eric Keroack, Deputy Assistant Secretary at HHS
- Lurita Doan, General Services Administration head
- Robert Cobb, NASA Inspector General
- Julie MacDonald, Fish and Wildlife Service head
