It's time to update the list of criminals and would-be criminals in the Bush administration

There have been so many criminals, both convicted and otherwise, that Bush has appointed or tried to appoint to top posts that every once in a while, I like to update my list:

George W. Bush--Ersatz President of the United States

He received two dui's (and lied about when he received them).

He failed four times to file share sales declarations to the SEC when Harken Oil hit bottom, and made $1 million during one eight-month lapse. The "investigation" for insider trading was the kind of investigation any insider trader would love to have--no one interviewed anyone on Harken's board. The "investigator" was Bush's Texas Rangers attorney. And Bush's father was President of the United States at the time.

Bush has also never been investigated for his possible role in voter interference and intimidation in Florida in two different presidential campaigns, or his possible role in ballot fraud in both Florida and Ohio.

Though his machinations that led to the invasion of Iraq constitute impeachable actions, no move has been made to impeach him.

Dick Cheney--Alleged Vice President of the United States
He also received two dui's.

His secret oil committee meetings have yet to be invetigated because the court will not allow the investigation. He swore on several occasions that he had severed all ties with Halliburton, but has continued to receive stock options, as well as his deferred compensation.

Thomas White--Former Secretary of the Army
White was accused of lying under oath to a Senate committee.

He sold $3 million worth of Enron stock right before Enron went under, hardly a coincidence.

John Poindexter--Former Information Awareness Office Director
He was charged with and found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and destruction of evidence in the Iran-Contra affair. His conviction was later overturned, but it is generally accepted that Poindexter committed the crimes. At the very least, he was the co-creator of the illegal Iran-Contra operation.

Thomas Griffith--Nominee for the Federal Appeals Court of Washington
Griffith practiced law without a license for four years.

Cristina Beato--Nominee for Assistant Secretary of Health for DHHS
Beato lied compulsively on her resume.

John Negreponte--National Intelligence Director and Former Ambassador to the United Nations and to Iraq
Negreponte has been repeatedly accused of covering up both the human rights abuses and the drug trafficking of the Honduran military during the 80's.

Elliott Abrams--National Security Committee Director for Democracy, Human Rights, and International Operations
Abrams plead guilty to withholding evidence regarding the Iran-Contra scandal from Congress. He was pardoned by George H.W. Bush

Otto Reich--Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere
He was never charged with a crime, but was accused of conducting prohibited covert propaganda activities. He also used his influence to try to get a U.S. visa for convicted terrorist Orlando Bosch.

David Hager--Member, FDA Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs
Hager has been accused by his former wife of raping her over a period of several years. These events she said, all involved sodomy, and occurred while she was in a narcoleptic state.

John Bolton--Undersecretary of State and Nominee to be Ambassador to the United Nations
Bolton has been accused by his former wife of forcing her to participate in group sex.

Priscilla Owen--Judge, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
As a member of the Texas Supreme Court, Owen and her peers on the bench received large amounts of cash from both Enron and Halliburton. Almost all of the cases for these two companies resulted in favorable verdicts for them. At no time did Owen seek to recuse herself from the relevant cases.
