Fred Malek, Hater of Statistics and the chosen people

There has been alot of controversy lately over Fred Malek, VA state government honcho and chair of commissions to troubleshoot VA state issues. This man served in the Nixon administration and did a census of Jewish folk and Jewish sounding surnames in the BLS Nixon ordered it because of an unfavorable employment data release and the President thought it was a 'Jewish Conspiracy.'

This man is now in a position of power in the state government and it frightens me. How can we trust a man that put together a memo like that? Please find someone else Governor McDonnell. So we will probably hear some Mea Culpas, but I think find that disengenous. He actively involved himself in targeting people because his boss said to do it. Hmmm, I wonder where I heard that before?
