'A lot of poor memories on Capitol Hill'

A spokeswoman for the president says there appear to be a lot of poor memories on Capitol Hill these days.

The comments from Dana Perino came when she responded to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House.

He noted that Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, in referencing the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, said, "Not since the Saturday night massacre when President Nixon forced the firing of the Watergate prosecutor, Archibald Cox, have we witnessed anything of this magnitude."

Then he asked, "Does the president believe that Sen. Leahy has somehow forgotten how Bill Clinton and Janet Reno fired 93 U.S. attorneys in one day?"

LOL First, do any of these people know how Patrick Leahy felt when Clinton fired the 93 US Attorneys?

Second, it is ONE THING to fire every single US Attorney after the White House has been run by the opposite party for 12 years and CLEARLY these US Attorneys don't have the same agendas as that of the newly-elected president. Clinton didn't pick and choose who he was firing nor does there appear to be any evidence that Clinton lied about why he was firing these attorneys.

This whole thing would not be a big deal had this administration and Attorney General been honest about why they fired these US Attorneys. But their stories kept changing.

The problem here is if the reasons for firing the attorney's were legal or not. If they fired the attorney's because they were investigating corruption scandals into the wrong people then the firings would be illegal, hence the lie of why they were fired.

The Bush admin has shown time and time again that they view the American people as ignorant drones that take everything at face value. If only the damn media and attorney's would stop investigating and uncovering lies everything would be ok.

That is exactly right (that this administration thinks were all idiots). When Gonzales first came out and said he had no part in the deliberations of firing these attorneys, I thought, "WHAT? YOU'RE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND YOU HAD NO PART IN THE DELIBERATIONS OF FIRING US ATTORNEYS?" What kind of Attorney General doesn't participate in such an important issue? But it's clear that he did have a say in it (did you watch him telling Pete Williams what he meant by being "involved" in the deliberations. It's like Bill Clinton arguing about the meaning of "is." LOL).

What is so upsetting to me, Gibberish, is how this administration is so obsessed with the religious right, that they promote people who don't even have the proper experience. Sampson was hardly out of law school, and he has such a high-powered position in the Justice Dept. How is that possible? Same thing with Monica Goodling. Have you seen her resume? It's pretty unimpressive for the high-powered position she holds.

I thought this was going to be about the 122 times Gonzales aide Kyle Sampson said, "I don't know" in his testimony.

Actually that is nothing new in congressional testimonys be it republican or democrat........Clinton in fact said it a lot of times and ne still committed perjury.......

I know Leahy is a partisan hack.Like I said when Schumer was questioning Sampson yesterday he would not even let the man naswer the question and when Cornyn objected Leahy jumped all over him.......Democrats better remember that payback is a bitch.......

These attorneys are hired and fired at the pleasure of the President.................To this point no crimes have been committed....This is just a big witch hunt to take attention off the real problems this country faces........

I thought Pelosi said that now that the dems are in charge there will be 5 day work weeks............Where are they today? :roll:

I saw Specter being rough on Sampson--interrupting him, telling him (Sampson) that he (Sampson) was not answering the question he (Specter) had asked. I was screaming at the TV saying, "Let him speak."

I don't know if these Senators let their status get to their heads and decide they don't need to show respect to the person testifying. I don't care if the person testifying is a janitor--you treat that person with respect and don't interrupt them!

Which part of this rant is the illegal part? Oh yeah, none of it. Jealousy run amok.

You can run from the question or answer it. No matter. Here it is again. Which part of your post showed anything illegal? Let's see, you think Bush has called the American people idiots, but didn't back it up. You brought up Clinton and the word "is." You lashed out at religous people. It has been shown time and again that these attorneys can be fired at the pleasure of the president. Where is the illegality, counselor?

 

[Voidwar]

What the man felt is not at issue nor relevant.

He was asked if he remembered a thing that did, in fact, occur.

Clinton fired 93 in a day. His option. W's also.

Unless, of course, you are a jealous hysterical liberal who will not rest until someone - anyone - goes to jail.

I can't say with any certainty that an illegality occurred, unless we're talking about perjury, as it appears that Gonzales has perjured himself. Just say that Carol Lam was fired to prevent her from further investigations of Republicans. Is that illegal? I don't think so. Is it improper? Yes. What is the punishment/remedy? I have no idea.

In other words, much ado about nothing.

In actuality the dems have nothing......They are just throwing **** up against the wall and hope something sticks..........I do think Gonzales is history and that might not be a bad thing.....They won't lay a glove on Rove though.....

I know. How can he be this stupid? Oh, wait a second....Bill Clinton denied having any sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, and we all know (1) how smart Clinton is and (2) how absolutely false that statement was.

Hee hee hee Frankly, if he is like this in real life, I wouldn't want to know him. You, on the other hand, BWG, I want to have a beer with you and bash the Republicans in Congress, in the White House, and on this message board.
