Restoring honor and dignity, right?

Former Bush Aide Charged in Felony Theft
Claude Allen had recently resigned as White House domestic policy adviser.

......According to the Montgomery County Police Department, Allen was arrested yesterday and charged in a felony theft and a felony theft scheme. According to a department press release, Allen conducted approximately 25 fraudulent "refunds" in Target and Hecht's stores in Maryland. On Jan. 2, a Target employee apprehended Allen after observing him receive a refund for merchandise he had not purchased. Target then contacted the Montgomery County Police. According to a source familiar with the case, Target and the police had been observing Allen since October 2005. [More at slate.com.]

It fits, doesn't it? Note that this isn't the White House catering manager or the Assistant to the Undersecretary of Transportation for Bike Paths--this is the CHIEF DOMESTIC POLICY ADVISOR!!!

It appears the White House has become quite a menagerie recently, showcasing

1) rats off a sinking ship and

2) frog marches
