U.S. Attorney probed for leaking justice's tax returns

Another "oops!" from the right-wing culture of corruption we all know and hate.

Dunnica Lampton is the Bush-appointed U.S. Attorney for southern Mississippi. He's already in trouble for politically motivated prosecutions, and now he's being investigated by the Treasury Department for allegedly sharing private tax records of a Mississippi Supreme Court Justice who he was targeting.

It turns out that the justice's opponent in the 2000 election was a good friend of Lampton. The justice endured repeated unsuccessful prosecutions by Lampton, and now the House Judiciary Committee has named the case against him as one of several nationwide that were politically motivated.

Is it just my imagination, or does it seem like all of Bush's U.S. Attorney appointees (plus his Attorney General appointees) got their law degrees from the back of a matchbook?
