I saw this piece on Slate, the little Liberal cyberspace experiment created by uberlib Michael Kinsley:
"The 2003 Christmas shopping season may be only a few weeks old, but it's already pretty clear who the big loser is: Abercrombie & Fitch. In November, in the face of a boycott led by the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families, the company recalled its racy catalog, the A&F Quarterly, which bears more resemblance to Playboy than to the Wilson Quarterly. The "Christmas Field Guide" featured cover language promising "group sex and more" and photos of wholesome-looking youths in not very wholesome poses. On Sunday night, 60 Minutes charged that Abercrombie is the apparel industry's version of Hooters, hiring hotties to work on the sales floor and relegating less bodacious associates to the stock room. The company also faces a class-action lawsuit filed by former Clinton Justice Department civil rights hand Bill Lann Lee, which claims the all-American retailer discriminates against nonwhite job applicants."
Notice the use of "Clinton Justice Department civil rights..." to describe the guy filing a lawsuit reguarding alledged unfair pabor practices for non-white applicants. Why not say "former justice department..." or "former government official"? Why do they have to say Clinton Justice Department?
Sounds like the Republicans aren't the only ones digging up old Bubba's name.
