oh common Bill.
of all people, i would expect you to look at politics with a balanced eye.
Bush fired 8, Clinton fired 93. -- what is that called? precedence?
actually, it was done long LONG before Clinton was in office,
he just took it to a hgher level.
BTW, dont assume too much of my personal opinions when it comes to politics.
you seem to be interpreting my "dont bash a sitting President" with thinking
that i approve of what is said and done? ohhhhh Bill Bill
ORIGINAL: wcoates
Fired for job performance deficiencies when personnel files say otherwise. I think Gonzales is a Republican lackey and Rove is pulling the strings.
Sorry Zal, but GWB is the sorriest excuse for a President that I've seen in my 60 short years!
Justice denied: as President Clinton has time after time made a mockery of his oath of office, his attorney general has followed suit - Janet Reno[/align]National Review (http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282), Sept 1, 1998 (http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n16_v50) by Robert H.

In the history of the Republic, the names of Bill Clinton and Janet Reno will be forever linked, a prospect that ought to appall Miss Reno. That is entirely due to her efforts to preserve the President from his own follies, to use a polite word. Bill Clinton heads what is probably the most corrupt Administration ever, while Miss Reno has been called the worst of all Clinton's Cabinet appointments. From his point of view, of course, she may be the best, which comes to much the same thing.
Miss Reno's only visible qualifications for the post of attorney general were two: she is a woman and she had been a prosecutor. The first characteristic was indisputable, although, in any non-feminized era, it would have been irrelevant. The second seemed heartening, but it did not prepare her for Washington. Coming from obscurity, she must have been caught off guard by the rampant corruption into which she was thrust. So varied and unceasing have been this Administration's infractions of law that Miss Reno resembles a desperate tennis player, running from side to side of the court and from net to baseline in a frantic effort to hold down the score. Unfortunately for her White House coach, she is becoming winded and wobbly-legged.
She was not in charge from the beginning. Upon taking office, in an unexplained departure from the practice of recent Administrations, Miss Reno suddenly fired all 93 U.S. attorneys. She said the decision had been made in conjunction with the White House. Translation: The President ordered it. Just as the best place to hide a body is on a battlefield, the best way to be rid of one potentially troublesome attorney is to fire all of them. The U.S. attorney in Little Rock was replaced by a Clinton protege. The long-running Waco emergency that culminated in the deaths of eighty Branch Davidian men, women, and children again proved that Janet Reno was not in charge in the Justice Department. Webster Hubbell, Hillary's former law partner in Little Rock and Bill's man at Justice, coordinated tactics with the White House. The President did not even talk to his attorney general throughout the crisis.
