In yet a nother example of the Culture of Corruption, a Bush advisor for Domestic Policy was arrested for theft yesterday. He was caught stealing from Target stores, and faces up to 15 years in prison - despite the fact that he was making $161,000 a year.
He was busted on January 2, but he resigned only a few weeks ago with no explanation, so now we know why.

Republicans will try to play this off as an "old ex-aide", but given that the crime occurred before he resigned, this would hardly be the case. I don't know what it is with Republicans and dishonesty, but I have to assume that the lure of power must make them feel invincable.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A former adviser to President Bush was arrested this week in Maryland and charged with swindling two department stores out of more than $5,000 in a refund scam.
Montgomery County police said Claude Allen, 45, was arrested Thursday and charged with carrying out a felony theft scheme at Target and Hecht's stores. He was released on his own recognizance.
Conviction on the charges can result in a 15-year prison sentence.
