Most importantly?
The slime who investigated Joe The Plumber with government resources, Helen Jones-Kelley, resigned from her state position in Ohio. Helen used to work as the department of Job and Family Services director.
From the AP story on Yahoo:
Gov. Ted Strickland suspended Jones-Kelley for a month without pay after the Ohio Inspector General's office found in November that she improperly used state computers to find personal information on Samuel Wurzelbacher. The investigation also found that she conducted improper political fundraising activity for now President-elect Barack Obama.
Its bad enough that our civil servants use their government time to raise money for their chosen candidates. (Which seems like an infinite circle to me, of someone getting hired to raise money, so that more government robots can get hired.)
What's worse is to see that they used that government time (and government private resources) to snoop into the background of political opponents. That kind of slimy dealing makes me want to bring back tar-and-feathering of criminal officials.
