WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles pleaded guilty Friday to obstruction of justice, becoming the ninth person and the highest-ranking Bush administration official convicted in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.Hmmm...another BushCo official under the bus. The Guardian has it.

Well, isn't that a sweet deal for Bush's buddies he might help nail.

Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher said the case - the ninth conviction in the Abramoff investigation - shows the Justice Department is willing to go after ``public corruption at all levels of government.''
My ass. I believe that when I see Gail Norton's fanny in jail.
