Monica Cries

Bloomberg takes us into the strange world of the United States Department of Justice, where young women hire and fire US Attorneys, and have to bear the sadness it all brings:

Monica Goodling, at the time an aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, sobbed for 45 minutes in the office of career Justice Department official David Margolis on March 8 as she related her fears that she would have to quit, according to congressional aides briefed on Margolis's private testimony to House and Senate investigators. The aides spoke on condition of anonymity.

I'd have hoped that Regent University graduates were made from sterner stuff, and not wilt when told that they would have to take the fall. Shades of Mary Astor! Still, a little emotion in front of Congress will make for good theater, so let's hope Monica doesn't have an accident before then.
