Rachel "Princess Party" Palouse waves a tearful goodbye

The embattled United States attorney in Minnesota announced today that she would be stepping down to go work at the Justice Department in Washington on legal policy issues.

The announcement by the prosecutor, Rachel K. Paulose, 34, came in the wake of reports of new staff turmoil in her office, with at least one senior lawyer resigning from his management post in Minneapolis on Friday in a protest over her leadership. Three other managers gave up their administrative jobs in a similar protest in April.

In an unusual public statement on a conservative blog last week, Ms. Paulose suggested that she was a victim of “McCarthyite hysteria that permits the anonymous smearing of any public servant who is now, or ever may have been, a member of the Federalist Society, a person or faith and/or a conservative (especially a young, conservative woman of color).”

Rachel is leaving because she's:

A) A woman
B) Non-white
C) A Christian
D) A member of the Federalist Society
E) A conservative
F) under investigation for creating a hit list of reporters, mishandling classified information, retaliating against anyone who crossed her, making racist remarks, demoralizing her department, and treating every day like it was her quinceañera

How nice that, after treating her office like Katrina treated New Orleans, she's getting the opportunity to show off her magic touch at the home office. I'm sure her going away party was just as fabulous as her swearing in party.
