In Florida, it appears the governor, you know, the guy who endorsed McCain, has some problems in hiring and approving the right people. The spokesperson for the Department of Childrens Services has...get this...been arrested on child-porn charges:The head of the Department of Children and Families, "horrified and shocked" by the arrest of his agency spokesman on child-pornography charges, Monday ordered a review of personnel records for all DCF employees.
DCF Secretary Bob Butterworth and Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey briefed reporters at DCF headquarters about the arrest of Al Zimmerman on eight counts of soliciting two boys for sexual purposes.
Butterworth, who fired Zimmerman last Friday, said he sent a message to all department employees — urging them to "work with your heads held high" — and said the incident does not reflect on DCF's work in protecting children in foster care, the elderly and other needy Floridians.
Uh-huh...right...
It reflects poor judgement....that is what it reflects, in hiring someone like this....but if it doesn't affect the work in protecting children:
Butterworth and Bailey said one of the two teenage boys in the Zimmerman case had been in DCF care. Bailey said "there were indications" that Zimmerman might have met a boy through agency services, but both men declined to go into details for fear of giving any information that might identify one of the victims even by inference.
Remember, this is the administration of someone who vociferously backed McCain....just putting it out there....
