Cute answer! Completely devoid of substance, but Cute!

Yeti — 3/13/2007 5:13:22 PM (archived)

1)Still: Why are people getting fired for this, and why did the Admin obfuscate and deny if this is 'just Standard Op Procedure'? Sorry, still does not wash- even with your cutsey rhetoric.

2)At least some of the US attnys in question were pressured before their termination by members of the presidents' political party. The same can not be said for Clinton Admins firings.

3) The prior firings (still looking into this) did NOT take place in the context in which oversight was denied to congress on replacements.

So there are three things here that you need to answer, and 'You're Blithering' is not an answer to any of the above.
