quote of the day...

Gonzo, feeling the heat, says he'll:
"[F]ind out what went wrong, so it won't happen again."
Le'me help you there, Mr. A.G.: What went wrong was YOU decided to willfully violate your oath of office. Repeatedly. You know, the one where you swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic?

And if I could take this to the Nth degree for you, I'd channel Captain Kirk to your Nomad, tell you you're just so fucking faulty, and hence you must exercise your prime directive: STER-I-LIZE!!

Oh, hell! I'd just settle for your being tried for crimes against humanity.

lemme get this straight: Now you wanna take the AG to task for doing something that he had every right under the sun to do?

USAs serve at the pleasure of the president. They are political appointees. They can be, and have been, fired for no reason whatsoever. The only reason being floated that I heard is the (yet unproven, but facts never stopped Chuckie before) rumor that they were fired for NOT prosecuting corrupt democrats (of course, we all know (especially those of us here in Jersey) that are are NO corrupt democrats).

Fired for not doing ones job -- how unDemocratic.

every right to fire fed prosecutors for not prosecuting dems OR not protecting republicans... that IS why they were fired, naahm... you know it, i know it...

we can cut thru the "unproven" BS here, can we not.. ? you don't think this heavy handed karl rove shit calls into question EVERYthing fed prosecutors do now... ?

e.g., the fed prosecutor who indicted menendez (you did say jersey, right?), don't you **know** that's why he still has a job... ? it be the ones who weren't fired we really gotta be worried about now...

as bad as shakespeare hated the lawyers, i gotta believe he hated the hacks worse...

so a prez that fires USAs to install his own hacks is bad, right? What would you call a prez that did what Bush purportedly thought about doing, and firing every USA and installing his own person. Is that unlawful?

no president before had the privilege of not having to go through congress' advise & consent...
