Wow! The GOP right wing gang ganging up on the kind of people who should be their darling. Rhee, our own ed version of Sarah Palin. With the Swift boaters on the case, can you imagine them turning this into the Obama Whitewater? My goodness, where do we root here?There's lots to report on this breaking story, but I'll let others do it.
The NY Times reports is here, with this perfect photo of the Rhee personna.
Candy Peterson from DC has this up on her blog.

Michelle Rhee, The Fixer Did Damage Control After Sex Charges Against Kevin Johnson
If you haven't read this already it is a 'must read' Examiner Exclusive by Byron York with Bill Myers contributing to the report. It reads like an episode from Dominick Dunne's TV show Power, Privilege and Justice. It confirms my belief that no 'reign of terror' lasts forever. I'd be interested to hear how you think this drama will play out. I have posted this Examiner story in its entirety.
Here's another one of Kevins' articles, in case you're interested: http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=N19ANQ9Z39H8&preview=article&linkid=99e11c92-3a87-40f2-a03e-b6a1155fef50&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d
