Comments on: E-mails? What e-mails??

I agree with stevejbons - I feel sorry for the Republicans that are still blindly supporting a president and administration that has a record of scandals and lies equal to that of Warren G. Harding. Anyone that is aware of presidential history and constitutional politics know that a new president will bring in all new appointments at the onset of his (her?) administration. To fire en masse towards the ending of 2 terms is so OBVIOUSLY subjective, sneaky and suspicious that those that are supporting Gonzalez are blinder than the ostrich with his head in the sand. So sad for you, so sad.

Karl Rove GOP Playbook: When confronted with the fact that their presidential candidate George Bush chose to go AWOL in 1969 instead of serving his country, what did Right Wingers do? They attacked the messenger and tried to destroy Dan Rather for mistakenly using one forged document in the CBS News coverage of Bush's disgraceful abandonment of his mandatory National Guard service. This issue was (and is) "why did he go AWOL?" and didn't that make him "unfit for command"? The past six years of the disasterous Bush-Cheney administration provide your answer.

stevejbons: "Dangerously close to fascism," was a long time ago. They're way over the line now. We need to ensure that they leave office when the Constitution says they should. Thank God for presidential term limits.

"President Clinton fired all the U.S. Attorneys WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE..."

Yes, Dr. Cole, when he took office. As did Ronald Reagan before him and Shrub in his wake (facts the Bush apologencia prefers to ignore).

No previous administration in the history of the US has fired US Attorneys en masse once the post-inauguration hiring cycle is over. And not even the Nixon administration engaged in the amount of blatant disregard for the law practiced by the current one, of which the disappearing emails is but one small example.

I heard Dan Rather has the emails.

I feel sorry for the small percentage of people on the Right who still blindly support Bush-Cheney. Due to the corrupt nature of this administration, their apologists must not only explain away the misdeeds undertaken by Rove, Gonzales et al designed to hide their criminal behavior, they must also defend an 'above the law' mindset that slides dangerously close to fascism. GOPers and other folks 'right of center', please keep in mind, unless you're extremely wealthy ($5M or greater) you are supporting policies that are against your own interests. Do you understand this or does your robotic flag waving create a hypnotic trance that shuts down your brain activity? Just asking.

Is this "Game" like who gave the 1992 campaign speeches concerning GHWB not doing enough about Saddam Hussein and the terroists in Iraq?

Answer: Al Gore, Jr.

These speeches are now on YouTube.

Presidential Records Act just defined the ownership of President records, didn't say what records are official, and neither the communications through private or partisian channel should be kept if they are not deemed as official records.

[orneryguy-2009]

what you morons fail to acknowledge is that regardless of whether anything wrong was done or not, regardless of who is in the position or what party is in office, you need TRANSPARENCY to gaurantee that there are no shenanigans going on. It is the dedicated right's refusal to hold their own accountable for anything that make's them the puppets and fools of their own party.

President Clinton fired all the U.S. Attorneys when he took office and placed his cronies in office. The U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President and can be replaced at his pleasure, period. This is a non-issue. The author should stop being a political hack.

Any PROOF that official business was conducted hrough the RNC accounts? No? I thought not.

Nerff,

All he did was quote the Repugs won platform. It seems like they are the one who have no credibility.
