Somehow, even the word "brazen" doesn't do this justice.

Just when you think the corruption of the Bush administration can't get any more flagrant, well, it gets more flagrant. How about this: Commander Chimpy removing the Abramoff federal prosecutor by offering him a bribe ... uh, federal judgeship.

Even when you're disgusted, you just have to admire the gumption, although it probably would have been easier to have just had him whacked. I imagine Alberto Gonzales had to talk him out of that.
