Olson earned his sleazeball reputation all by his little self, with such lowlights as helping to install our dictator into the White House and his involvement in the notorious Arkansas Project.
Snip:
If you think Gonzales was excessively partisan in staffing the Justice Department and firing U.S. attorneys who didn't carry out Karl Rove's agenda, Olson demonstrated his own pure Republican partisanship -- and absolute Bush loyalism, another Gonzales trait -- when he helped direct the Republican legal team that "won" Florida for the Republicans in the Supreme Court of the United States during the aftermath of the 2000 election. Actually, he had earned his far-right credentials years earlier, when he joined the secret campaign to destroy the Clinton presidency that was financed by Richard Mellon Scaife, the conservative Pittsburgh billionaire behind American Spectator magazine's Arkansas Project.
What kills me is Olson's argument in front of the USSC on behalf of our dictator was a wretched performance. He was such a nervous mess, he sounded if he were about to pee in his pants.
