Dobson's Focus on the Family Moves Inside the Beltway

By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

It's among the nation's biggest charities and evangelical ministries, but the politically influential Focus on the Family has never played much in Washington. Now that's changing, part of the shift of control from founder James Dobson to President Jim Daly. For the first time, the conservative Focus is opening a Washington office. Tim Goeglein, the group's vice president of external relations, says his job is not primarily to beat up on President Obama's policies but to get Focus's mission better known.

1. Uh, that would be PLAGIARIST Tim Goeglein.
Plagiarist Tim Goeglein hired as VP of Focus on the Family Action

In February 2008 Nancy Noll, a former writer for the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel discovered that a White House staffer had plagiarized in a column he had written for her former employer. By the time the digging was done the paper found that 20 of the 38 columns he had written had plagiarized content.

Tim Goeglein resigned the day Nancy Noll discovered the first of the 20. He had been in the White House since 2001, recruited by Karl Rove, working as deputy director of the Office of Public Liaison when his plagiarism was uncovered.

Goeglein has been rewarded (for admitting what was found to be true) by Focus on the Family Action Group, stepping in a newly created position: vice president of external relations.

2. Eeewwww. Can't they keep their creepiness in Colorado? Or better yet, move
to Alaska and join the Palin groupies! The further from the east coast the better. They are so awful.
