Another One Bites The Dust

Another one bites the dust. Claude Allen, former White House Domestic Policy Advisor was caught over several months using a scheme that finally got him arrested. It appears that Claude going to stores on more than 25 occasions and buying items, taking them to his car and then returning to the store with his receipt. He would then pick up the same items he had just bought and return them for a refund, the police said.
The incidents were said to have occurred while Mr. Allen was still in his job as Mr. Bush's domestic policy adviser.

A longtime conservative, Mr. Allen started his career working for Jesse Helms, the former Republican senator from North Carolina.

A former deputy secretary in the Department of Health and Human Services, Mr. Allen was nominated in 2003 to a federal appeals court seat, but Senate Democrats blocked him. The N.A.A.C.P. opposed the nomination on the ground that he had not supported civil rights initiatives like a holiday to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
