Liar for Hire

Today's face of evil award goes to Ben Ginsberg, right wing attack dog, Swift Boat apologist, newly-appointed filibuster smasher of record for the *ies, and latest addition to the * administration army of scoundrels and subtractors.

Who is Ben Ginsberg? According to Media Matters,

Although Benjamin L. Ginsberg is an "MSNBC contributor," he is not a journalist; he is a lawyer with partisan ties -- a fact Matthews notes whenever he appears on Hardball. In August, Ginsberg resigned from his position as chief outside counsel to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign after he acknowledged that he had been providing legal advice to the discredited anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

In addition to having served as national counsel to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, Ginsberg, a partner in the law firm of Patton Boggs LLP, is the former general counsel to the Republican National Committee. According to his bio on the Patton Boggs website, "[H]e played a central role in the 2000 Florida recount."

If your worth is known by the company you keep, what does the company of John Bolton and Ben Ginsberg say about Bush/Cheney Inc.?

[UPDATE]: I see The Carpetbagger has noticed, as well.
