Lurita Doan thought her political appointees were getting a "motivational speech" from Karl Rove's Deputy

Wow.  Lurita Doan, named by CREW as one of the 25 most corrupt officials in the Bush Administration, testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.  She claimed to be expecting a "motivational speech" when she gathered the political appointees in her department to hear from Scott Jennings, a top aide to Karl Rove in the White House political operation.

GSA chief Lurita Doan is accused of violating federal law after she hosted a partisan PowerPoint briefing delivered by top Karl Rove deputy Scott Jennings, and then asked her agency employees to think up ways to help GOP candidates. During her hearing today, Doan claimed she didn’t know it would be a political meeting. “I thought we were going to have a motivational speech,” Doan told Rep. John Mica (R-FL).

Wow.
