Gonzales aide who asserted Fifth resigns

[ayabe]

Considering her educational 'credentials' she wasn't anywhere near qualified to have the position she did in the first place. In fact, neither does her good friend that wacky chick in Minnesota that just had her entire team resign out from under her.

I hope she didn't do anything serious, like giving someone a BJ.

LOL

What I don't understand - and am at odds with - is how is it any better or different to fire them all at the start of your term, rather than at some point in your term?

It's not about firing them in mid term of at the beginning of a term, that doesn't mater. It's about the reason for firing them and the implications that might hold. If W had booted them all out of office, it would not have been an issue (well, except for those in the the left wing fringe anyway)

If you get rid of them all at one point, you're not singling out anyone, you're getting rid of them all to replace with your team. If you single out a few and get rid of them, then the question of "why them?" becomes an issue. If you get rid of them simply because you don't feel they are doing a good job, that's fine. But if you are getting rid of them because they refuse to use their prosecutorial power to further your political goals, that's a BIG problem. It's basically saying "forget the law, do what I want you to do or we'll get rid of you and put in someone else who will". That's an assault on the judicial system.

What bothers a lot of people (Repubs and Dems alike), is that when asked "why them?", there were a bunch of different stories told, and no good reasons given. Lies were told about who was involved in the decisions. Then, if you take a look at the districts these attorneys are in, and look at the activities in those regions, things start to smell even more........

That was the huge problem with Clinton---government ran fairly well--governmental officials were expected to be competent and by in large were--but some intern gave Bill Clinton a BJ and the world ended.

Under GWB---no Blow jobs permitted---but GWB governmental officials are almost routinely expected to blow off all other principles of good government and competence. With zero accountability.

In other words, continuing Bush administration SOP.

She is unqualified for her job
She takes the fifth.
Her name is Monica.
Take a wild guess why Goodling resigned.
History repeats itself?
