Hey, how about this for a late contender for Outstanding Achievement in Corruption-Based Chutzpah:

As outlined in the Guardian, Ginger Cruz, an deputy at the Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) and a wiccan has gone beyond earthly realms in her bid for a Golden Duke.

Besides, and I quote, a "sustained patterns of inappropriate behavior", she threatened to "put hexes on employees". Add in a dash of "inappropriate sexual remarks" and "access(ing) without authorization employee e-mail messages stored on computers maintained by the U.S. Army", and you've got a lovely little Bush employee disaster in the works.

Outstanding work Ginger!

Oh, did I mention there's an investigation of overspending and mismanagement on top of it?
