Hatch?

I mentioned in my previous post about the fraud James Hansen that he might run afoul of the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from partisan campaigning.

Now, Patrick Michaels, writing for the National Review, has noticed the same thing:

Speaking of crimes, what about the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from electioneering? In the hotly contested state of Iowa, on October 26, 2004, Hansen gave a public speech in which he stated that “John Kerry has a far better grasp than President Bush on the important issues that we face.” Kerry lost Iowa by a mere 10,000 votes.

Yet Hansen persists. He recently said “the 2008 election is critical for the planet. If Americans turn out to pasture the most brontosaurian congressmen,” maybe we’ll be able to save the planet from the doom he envisions this century.

So perhaps if Hansen the fraud decides to meddle with political races, enough people are watching that he may have to do it as a private citizen. I'm sure the Soros organization will foot the bill for his buffoonery.
