I know-I know.
Doesn't make sense in the hyper-polarized political atmosphere of our times, does it.
Only reason I can -- possibly -- think of that the Clintonista moles were retained probably are similar to why the Allies left certain NAZIS in place following WWII.
The administration must've thought they'd make the trains run on time. <\sarc>
Bush & Co had to have their reason(s) for leaving those leakers in place.
He had to.
They sure couldn't justifiably standing around scratching their heads and wondering where all the leaks of [sensitive] internal info -- to the Liberal-Socialist quisling-mediots, no less -- were coming from.
Not as long as the Clintigula holdovers were [still] around.
Not in my book they couldn't.
Shame on them, the "compassionate conservatism" they've tried to embrace?
...might just wind-up doing 'em in.
Perhaps you don't recall the huge "leak" problems during previous presidential administrations.
Those have been remarkably few during the past 3 years. The Old Mediots have even complained about how closed and secretive this administration is. Surely you've seen that criticism? (If not - go look at DU again... you'll find those.)
