Kathleen de la Pena McCook writes “A scorching internal review of the Bush administration’s READING FIRST program says the Education Department ignored the law and ethical standards to steer money the way it wanted. The report in full is available in pdf:
The Reading First Program’s Grant Application Process. The Reading First Director [Chris Doherty] who made certain that the grant process was open to a very few made this statement:”Beat the [expletive deleted] out of them in a way that will stand up to any level of legal and [whole language] apologist scrutiny. Hit them over and over with definitive evidence that they are not SBRR, never have been and never will be. They are trying to crash our party and we need to beat the [expletive deleted] out of them in front of all the other would-be party crashers who are standing on the front lawn waiting to see how we welcome these dirtbags.” — [p.24].

Bush cleans up own house
It was an internal review that brought this to light. And the language used isn’t anything worse or more intense then some of McCook’s own rantings. Get a grip.
Re:Bush cleans up own house
First off, it’s not about the language, really, it’s about the attitude displayed.
Secondly, if a Democrat/Liberal/Clintonite had said it the ultra-self-righteous would be showering shit and derision in all directions.
Get over it.

Don’t whine to the refs. Play or go home.
