You know, its only liberals who call emails "documents".

It's not the liberals, it the law. The presidential records act of 1978 provides the definition of presidential records subject to the act as follows:

"The term 'documentary material' means all books, correspondence, memorandums, documents, papers, pamphlets, works of art, models, pictures, photographs, plats, maps, films, and motion pictures, including, but not limited to, audio, audiovisual, or other electronic or mechanical recordations."

Don't you just hate it when reality doesn't fit into your bushshit view of the way the world should be?

First, if you're going to correct another's use of the English language, you might want to do a better job, yourself. I assume you meant "arrogance," not "arrogence." Your use "your" when you clearly intended to use the contraction for you are, "you're" is another little, oops. Your kind love to find fault with anyone with whom you disagree, but are blinded by the Bushshit of your leader. Maybe it's hard to see from the A$$kissing position.

You say it's arrogance bordering on hubris, I say it's well-across that border. It's excessive arrogance or pride, and therefore conforms to the definition of hubris. Any pride with respect to the competence of the DickNBush gang is excessive. Shrub has, however shown consistency if not competence, and he's run the country precisely as well as he ran his businesses; he ran them into the ground, too.

The meticulously planned and completed murders at Virginia Tech can't be blamed on shrub. That killer was mentally ill, too, but he had the decency to commit suicide after his murders. Shrub's "daddy" issues or even worse excuses resulted in his war in Iraq. His war has killed one hundred times as many of our military and thousands of times as many Iraqis, yet Shrub is alive and as well as a delusional sociopath can be.

Actually they are consider RECORDS and therefore fall under control of records management directives and can not be destroyed until the retention period has been met for the document that the email pertains to. Since these emails primary subjects were the attornies performance and dismissals they would be consider records of personnel documents. In most government agencies the retention period for personnel records is 5 years. Either way you slice it this administration is obstructing justice by not turning those RECORDS over. And I do not beleive for one minute those RECORDS were completely deleted, this group of thugs and cowards just do not want the truth to come out.

On the last McLaughlin Group broadcast, Eleanor Clift and Lawrence O'Donnell did just that.

I didn't count the number of words between them. It may have been 500.

They pointed out that Bush had let the strong gun laws of the Clinton administration slide, with tragic results.

"sheer hubris of the administration"

No, it's just chutzpah.

Only tragic heroes like Prometheus or Heracles can achieve hubris.

Nobody in this administration is either tragic or heroic.

Don't believe everything you read abut Republicans especially. GW was in National Guard or was he?..."

I'm always such a s*ucker for Republican propaganda. I just seem to accept everything the White House says.

I don't know what my problem is. I should seek help.

From a purely partisan point of view, one that Bushies thrive upon, it's better for the Democratic Party for Freddo to stay on as AG. Each day he's in office provides additional reminders of the incompetence and the sheer hubris of the administration. It's a reminder that these people think that whatever is advantageous for them is inherently good and that no action toward that end can be deemed excessive. It's the Napoleonic "L'Etat c'est moi" school of thought. Unfortunately, no individual is the nation in the United States, nor is any individual above the law, although that seems an area of some confusion for DickNBush. The last attempt to create an quasi-official cult around the national leader of a major power was in Germany in the 1930's.

Even though Freddo's continued tenure at DOJ is good for the Democratic party, most Democrats still care about the nation enough to want to see this bushshit lightning rod gone, no matter how much good he does for them while he's in office.

Of course shrub stands behind freddo. Freddo knows where all the bush skeletons are buried, having shovelled dirt on many of them, himself. It's not reasonable to assume that hiding shrub's criminal record was freddo's only acquaintance with shrub's darker activities. The two are in a symbiotic relationship in order to advance the dark side in America.

ROFLMAO!! Gonzales is another black eye for the GOP, the longer he stays, the longer Bush's and the GOPs corruption stays front and center. The 2008 elections will further marginalize the Republicans and dunderheads like didntinhale.
