Thou Shalt Not Steal

Well, God DID give Adam dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, including good merchandise at Target, evidently, because that is exactly where the Good Lord led presidential domestic policy advisor Claude A. Allen, the highest ranking African American in the Bush administration, and a very superior Christian who once worked for that other mighty man of God Jesse Helms, and the Lord said unto Claude A. Allen, "Steal this merchandise, because thou art sanctified." And Claude A. Allen did steal that merchandise ... unfortunately for him ... on camera.

It's all out now, and the White House has another fallen saint on its hands.

During the 1984 N.C. Senate campaign, when Allen was working for Jesse Helms in his contest against Gov. Jim Hunt, Allen said Hunt had links "with the queers."

Allen is also the guy that El Presidente wanted to put onto the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals during his first term, but thanks largely to ex-Sen. John Edwards, Allen never made it onto that court.
