		<description>[...] So here&#8217;s the score people. Internal White House emails show that Gonzales knew about this plan when Rove floated it. So this apology appears to be yet another attempt to confuse and obfuscate. In short, he&#8217;s lying, and at this point&#8230;that&#8217;s really sad. [...]</description>

		<description>There is something very different about firing all 93 U.S. attorneys at once in the beginning of your presidency than in selecting a few &quot;disloyal&quot; attorneys six years later. I know an assistant DA of a city, and every DA was required to hand in their resignation just in case when a new party took over. (He was rehired, but some weren&#039;t). If you do it in the beginning to everyone, you&#039;re not singling anyone out and you aren&#039;t commenting on their work, you&#039;re just getting in people you prefer. But to take prosecutors out who are in the middle of investigations that might make you look bad, that is a different kettle of fish entirely!</description>

		<description>The Clinton argument is spurious considered as a defense.  If they believe that he did wrong then, they must conclude that Bush is wrong now.  And maybe he WAS wrong.  Who the hell cares?  He&#039;s not the issue anymore.</description>

		<description>The administration still has any credibility?  I thought they lost the last vestiges of that about 3 years ago.</description>

Republicans will never rule in again in our lifetime THANK GOD since they have screwed up our country it will take a lifetime to fix the mess they have made.  How do you sleep at night?  IDIOT.</description>

		<description>What a bunch of screwups! They take a perfectly legal &amp; reasonable, though quite unusual, action. Somehow they manage to turn it into a crime  that alienates people who would normally remain loyal to them &amp; guarantees that more Admin members will serve prison time. 

The first lie was to the public about the reasons for the firing - performance issues. This angered the fired Attorneys enough to go public with their version of events, which uncovered possible wrongdoing from other Republicans, outside the Admin. Damage minor. Then they lie about who knew what when, including lying to Congress, who has access to the documents which prove they are liars. The only people on the planet who still believe them are the Faithful Sheeple.

One trouble with lying is remembering which lie you told to who.  Another is lying becomes so much of a habit that your automatic response is to lie in every situation, without regard to if it is a useful lie or not. And still another is the more lies you get caught in, the more it looks like you really, really do have many, many reasons to lie.

These jokers are destroying themselves &amp; their Party by sheer stupidity &amp; paranoia.  Looks like they took their playbook from Tricky Dickey (Nixon, not Cheney) &amp; expect a different result.</description>

		<description>[...] A special note on the latest political opera Attorneys on Fire: For those of you unaware, Karl Rove was singing lead, not Harriet Miers way back in January of 2005. Damn those e-mails about firing all those United States Attorneys. And damn it if Alberto Gonzales wasn&#8217;t involved &#8220;weeks before he was confirmed as attorney general.&#8221; Hard to say who this news sucks more for: Rove or Gonzales? Somewhere Harriet Miers smiles, far offstage. [...]</description>
