People used to resign

Like every profession, holders of public office used to be bound by certain traditions and a largely unwritten code of ethics. Resigning from office has been a tool for protest, an acknowledgment of responsibility, a measure of good character.

The Clintons happened. They surrounded themselves with an unending procession of persons who simply laughed at the thousands of years directly preceding Woodstock, and saw all of the past as one big, silly mistake.

There was Mike McCurry who resigned. Maybe he just got tired of shovelling feces.

The folks who shoulda resigned are out making big bucks for speeches and running for governor.

By resigning, one implies accountability for one's actions. We never saw any of this in the Clinton regime (though Clinton did point his finger at Reno over the Waco massacre Reno did not resign as a result... she merely got worse). While I cannot fault Mueller (as he was only on the job 8 days before 9/11) I can fault Tenet of the CIA and perhaps LTGEN Hayden of the NSA; since these two seekers of political correctness have not resigned I can fault Bush for not replacing them asap. Looking at a post on here a few days ago which gave the CIA's organizational chart it became very apparent that Tenet is more interested in his "Office of Diversity Management and Plans" than he is in protecting and serving the Constitution and this nation's citizens. If our nation undergoes another attack, specifically if the attack is nuclear, Tenet will not have the luxury of indulging in his social experimentation anymore.... our nation, in fact, may not have much of any luxuries anymore.

That's because they are being rewarded for their roles in destroying America. The people behind these people should be punished also. Oh well, I am entitled to my fantasies.
