[W]hat is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?
But you can't really judge a question like that out of its context. As it turns out, Goodling wasn't trying to conduct an ideological purge of the Justice Department, doing damage to law enforcement in America that would take years to repair. She was simply researching recipes:
It would certainly solve the embarrassing "When to have Bush speak at the convention?" problem for the GOP.
And if that works, expect a joint C-SPAN/Food Network project: "Who Wants to Have the Vice President for Dinner?"

Dear Sir: As a former member of the Executive Branch, I abhor the implication that the Department of Justice is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the Federal Judiciary who now suffer the largest casualties in this area.
