Matt Boyle at the Daily Caller has this funny story about the hotheaded and often thin-skinned DOJ Press spokeswoman “Because DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not answered TheDC’s questions about Fast and Furious for months, TheDC asked her if Holder would do an interview on the subject. “I’m going to decline your request,” Schmaler said in response. The Holder spokeswoman also accused TheDC of throwing “sticks and stones.” And, though TheDC spelled her name correctly in the request, Schmaler added: “It’s tracy — with no ‘e.’” Schmaler didn’t answer when TheDC asked her to explain that comment.”Tracey Tracy Schmaler. Apparently Schmaler saw imaginary misspellings and lectured Matt.
Of all the many ways that the Department of Justice will return to a focus on integrity and decorum on January 21, 2013, few will surpass the departure of Tracy Schmaler from the Office of Public Affairs where she has converted the place into a uncouth political operation worthy of the DNC. That Eric Holder has not cut loose this loud, dishonest political operative speaks volumes about his worthiness to serve in the office.
