With the exception of Norm Minetta and George Tenet, all political appointees of the Clinton Administration were gone before the end of 2001.

Democrats left in government are civil service career employees and cannot be fired without cause. They cannot be fired because they are democrats. That is the law.

...nice try, but no cigar! Throughout our history political appointees have resigned at the change of an administration and been replaced with a few exceptions, of course. While the law says that civil service employees cannot be fired without cause, political operatives can and have been reassigned to less harmful positions. An office director of 200 employees can be reassigned to, for example, be in charge of the 55 mph speed limit for the entire United States, with a staff of one! Important and essential sounding job, ehhh?

The operatives also can be encouraged to find other jobs. Counterproductive policies (that lack common sense) where the mission of the organization is less important than EEO, Diversity, etc. can be reversed or corrected. IMO leftist, socialist revolutionaries (democrats) operatives are legion throughout the government, especially the military.

And look at the damage THEY did---especially Tenet (and the liberals Tenet and Clinton hired are still working against Bush and America).

Had Bush fired every single Clinton appointee, as he should have (including the ones who "burrowed into" the Civil Service), it would by now be long forgotten, as were Bill Clinton's firing of the Bush people.
