US DOJ Dismissal of Attorney Scandal, Response to
Hurricane Katrina.
Coined by Paul Krugman in a New York Times Op-Ed, October 13, 2008: "I also wonder how much the Femafication of government under

executive branch, knowledgeable professionals have been driven out; there may not have been anyone left at Treasury with the stature and background to tell Mr. Paulson that he wasn’t making sense."
