3. CNN is silly.
Edited on Wed May-23-07 11:00 AM by Patsy Stone
Didn't they hear the Republicans on the committee assure me that the President has the ability to fire anyone he wants? Jeez. It's like they're trying to pin something on a bunch of perfectly reasonable people whose decisions were just based on performance or sumthin'.

7. Their subservience to Bush is hysterically not funny
As I posted elsewhere, they don't seem to care that they're showing the world that it's OK to politicize the Judicial branch.

4. Let's see, let's extrapolate a little bit here...
1) she was trying to use her "good" judgements when evaluating candidates for hiring/firing; candidates who were just like her, in other words.

2) she admits to having crossed the legal line

ergo 3) she was hiring people who would also break the law/firing those who wouldn't

Have I got that right?

Which means, every single person who was hired under her advice, needs to be scrutinized

16. She DID attend Regent University, after all!
You know, Pat Robertson's "school". Not even accredited until 1996. I believe it is now called a "tier 4" university.
There are about 150 Bush appointees who also prayed, er, studied there.
Of course, she hired a REAL lawyer to defend HER.:eyes:
