Purge baby, purge.
The U.S. attorney from New Mexico who was recently fired by the Bush administration said Wednesday that he believes he was forced out because he refused to rush an indictment in an ongoing probe of local Democrats a month before November’s Congressional elections.
David Iglesias said two members of Congress separately called in mid October to inquire about the timing of an ongoing probe of a kickback scheme and appeared eager for an indictment to be issued on the eve of the elections in order to benefit the Republicans. He refused to name the members of Congress because he said he feared retaliation.
How come you don’t mention the “Culture of Corruption” anymore?
So, just to be clear….if Bush had just run a virtual Pogrom of US Attorneys and kicked out every one that the democrats appointed, that would be OK?
It’s just bad that he is doing it to attorneys that aren’t doing their jobs?
Cause I mean, NOBODY who gets fired EVER thinks it their fault….

Ok, I’m confused. I thought that was waht was going on.
Problem is Pedro, they are doing it to attorneys who are doing their jobs.

Oh, Pedro and JWG know that — they knows all about Carol Lam and how she brought down a major chunk of the GOP’s K Street Project (Duke Cunningham-Dusty Foggo Wing). That’s why they’re glad to see her go.
Hold on a second.
He “fears retaliation”? He’s already been fired. What else does he think they’re going to do to him? Burn down his house? Kidnap his children? Key his Beemer?
This is exactly the kind of lame-ass charge that disgraced ol’ Joe McCarthy. You got names? Let’s hear ‘em.

OK. just where is the real Quaker? What have you done with him? (stealing a line from somebody)
I feel your confusing Duros but here is what actually happened, as opposed to what you read on Media Matters:
“Bode did note Reno’s unprecedented decision to fire all 93 U.S. Attorneys “has become a highly visible test of how political the Justice Department will be under Bill Clinton and Janet Reno.”

See, THATS an old school pogram. Bush has fired what, 6-7 attorneys?
Puh-lease…..
Well, if this was a “pogrom” to excise political opposition from the US attorney’s stable, it would probably work better closer to an election year, not 6 years into your term. Kind of late in the game to find monsters under the bed. Especially if they are doing their jobs effectively.
Excellent swing Duros!
Now Bush is stupid cause he didn’t fire all those disloyal slime right up front!
I love argueing with liberals!
