Funny. From reading this story, you'd never know that Monica had to take the Fifth--or why.

Dear Congressman Artur Davis:

Oh, Monica, Monica, Monica. I shake my head in sorrow. You should have skipped Regent and the law degree and gone someplace where they taught history. Recent American history for example. Like the Watergate story.

You, dear reader, or I may delete a hundred emails a day. Employees of the Justice Department operate under somewhat different rules. So when one Monica wrote (we don't know at this point if it was on her .gov email or that nasty gwb43.com one) looked suspicious to several people scanning the Friday Document Dump, including our own scarshapedstar, it was because he noted her use of the word "friendlies." Now it turns out there were other words of interest in this same mail as well.

These were found, and Monica got busted, by a party with the excellent name of Anonymous Liberal, who happens to be a lawyer too. She/he makes clear just why Monica is now well and truly screwed, blued and tattooed: the words, in bold even, on her email of Feb. 12 2007, Please delete prior versions.

Let's all be nice to Monica [snicker] Goodling!

After all, here's a Christianist who's at least willing to >take the fifth, instead of outright lying. We learn about Marcia's educational qualifications from the Amazing Froomkin:

Goodling, who is in her early 30s, graduated from Messiah College and the Pat-Robertson founded Regent University Law School.

Baby steps, baby steps.
