Interview Technique

Former Justice Department counselor Monica M. Goodling and former chief of staff D. Kyle Sampson routinely broke the law by conducting political litmus tests on candidates for jobs as immigration judges and line prosecutors, according to an inspector general’s report released today.Goodling regularly asked candidates for career jobs: “What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?” the report said.

Gosh, I don’t know. That’s a great question, ma’am. A great question. Better than a worm like me deserves. Why do I want to serve Him? Because of His strong, pure will, I suppose. And His manliness. And because utter submission to a strong leader is the only thing that keeps my fragile ego from disintegrating entirely.

Do I get the job?

    See, if you went to Regent University School of Law, you’d know the answer to that. They devote 2 semesters to it.

    was my guess right? I bet it was pretty close

  4. Carrie Says:

    I think you also needed to reference Bush’s love of freedom and stem cells.

  5. Benedict Says:

    I think we can all be inspired by his unswerving will and his utter unwillingness to react to facts or reasoned arguments. If that isn’t raw, meaty leadership at it’s most primal I don’t know what is.
