Bush: Attorney Firings Just Need Better Press
Posted by Trish | Apr. 8, 2007, 11:25 am

Who’s behind the payback firings of U.S. attorneys? Do you think it’s:

a) Attorney General/Bush personal lawyer Alberto Gonzales
b) Deputy Chief of Staff/Bush Brain Karl Rove
c) Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Lying Weasel Asshat Bush
d) All of the above

Yes, students. Both answers and “c” and “d” are correct.

Which is why it rankles so to hear Bush talk about it they way he did during a press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon this week. Bush makes it sound as if the skullduggery manifested out of thin air, not unlike a plop of pigeon poo on your shoulder as you walk beneath telephone wires. Except the pigeons all have the seal of the Oval Office on their wings.
Bush somehow managed to effectively pass along complaints without naming names, and by some miracle of coincidence Gonzales correctly identified who needed to be fired and did so

On Wednesday, Bush said he passed on to Gonzales complaints that he had received about the attorneys last fall but did not name names or ask him to fire anyone.

The president said the decision to fire the attorneys was justified.

“And yet this issue was mishandled to the point now where you’re asking me questions about it in Mexico,” Bush said.

Man, that pisses me off. Here he is in frickin’ Mexico, and you want him to be accountable.

We need to be straight about what the problem is, folks. What we have here — and follow me closely now — is a failure to communicate. It’s not that anyone did anything wrong. No, Bush somehow managed to effectively pass along complaints without naming names, and by some miracle of coincidence Gonzales correctly identified who needed to be fired and did so.

1. Holy shit, the corporomedia hid this little tidbit. Bush actually admits his own involvement.

That little Houston Chronicle article, via the pensitoreview, needs a much wider audience. K & R, and off to Olbermann. MKJ

2. Denial Ain't Just a River in Egypt

I truly believe this little fuck will serve out the rest of his term, thinking all he needs is just a little better press -- something to "vault over the propaganda." He's surrounded by people who tell him what he wants to hear, and has decided half of everybody else "just hate" him.

Reminds me of the stories of Hitler in the bunker, still plotting more invasions of Russia when the Red Army is outside the bunker, blowing up the surrounding buildings, in late April 1945.

Same flecks of foam around the mouth, eh?

3. it also is the work of Paul J. McNulty and (probably)..

..Barbara Comstock, evil harpy of dirty tricks against Dems. The people who are politicizing the DoJ all worked together over at the RNC's opposition research shop, where Comstock mentored them. Then they were hired in DoJ. It's a cozy little bunch of theocrats. Rove may be working with them, but he's not the only mastermind here.
