Bush To U.S. Attorneys: You Were Fired, But Thanks For Your Service!

[journalist3072]

As I was listening to C-Span's re-broadcast of Bush's comments today regarding the firing of the 8 U.S. attorneys, this one line stood out at me.

Bush said "I also want to say something to the U.S. attorneys who resigned. I appreciate your service to the country."

Of course, these attorneys did not resign because they wanted to. They resigned because they were told to. They were fired. So today, Bush, in all of his arrogance and cold heartedness, basically told them you're fired but thanks for your sevice!

1. This was my favorite line

"I appreciated their service, and I'm sorry that the situation has gotten to where it's got. But that's Washington, D.C. for you. You know, there's a lot of politics in this town."

2. Bush, "you're fired."

3. Worse yet, they were reportedly fired FOR CAUSE (I know, it was

all made up, but that's the official story).
