Congressional Democrats are in full cry over the news this week that the Administration's decision to fire eight U.S. Attorneys originated from -- gasp -- the White House. Senator Hillary Clinton joined the fun yesterday, blaming President Bush for "the politicization of our prosecutorial system." Oh, my.
As it happens, Mrs. Clinton is just the Senator to walk point on this issue of dismissing U.S. attorneys because she has direct personal experience. In any Congressional probe of the matter, we'd suggest she call herself as the first witness -- and bring along Webster Hubbell as her chief counsel.
As everyone once knew but has tried to forget, Mr. Hubbell was a former partner of Mrs. Clinton at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock who later went to jail for mail fraud and tax evasion. He was also Bill and Hillary Clinton's choice as Associate Attorney General in the Justice Department when Janet Reno, his nominal superior, simultaneously fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys in March 1993. Ms. Reno -- or Mr. Hubbell -- gave them 10 days to move out of their offices.
At the time, President Clinton presented the move as something perfectly ordinary: "All those people are routinely replaced," he told reporters...
...
Also at the time, allegations concerning some of the Clintons' Whitewater dealings were coming to a head. By dismissing all 93 U.S. Attorneys at once, the Clintons conveniently cleared the decks to appoint "Friend of Bill" Paula Casey as the U.S. Attorney for Little Rock. Ms. Casey never did bring any big Whitewater indictments, and she rejected information from another FOB, David Hale, on the business practices of the Arkansas elite including Mr. Clinton. When it comes to "politicizing" Justice, in short, the Bush White House is full of amateurs compared to the Clintons.

Herself knows she can join the chorus of indignants because their misdeeds regarding the 93 they sacked will not be brought up by most news outlets, and most Americans will remain blissfully ignorant, just like they're supposed to...
Didn't Aleister Crowley state that 93 was the number of magick? And wasn't there a movie about the number 93? No, wait, that was a flight on 9/11. And Aleister's whole philosophy is in Liber 77. Another 9/11 plane.
Anyhow, to fact-check, I googled Barbara Olson 9/11. Warning: if you do google this, have a barf bag ready. The pertinent phrase from Liber 77 (see Barbara Olson) is:
5. Man has the right to kill those who would thwart those rights. "the slaves shall serve." - AL II:58
Sheeple, sheeple who need sheeple, are the neediest sheeple in the world. " - Funny Ewe
I want some of whatever it is you're drinking/smoking...
Er, I mean, I do not understand any part of your post, sir or madam.
I still have my old deck of Aleister Crowley tarot cards. I read most of his books back in the '70s. Interesting fellow.
It's sort of a takeoff on Rasputin: "Sin, that you may be forgiven."
I didn't know until recently that the Clintons were being investigated at that time by one of the U.S. Attorneys. So, the Clintons fired all 93 so the press would hardly notice they were firing the one who was investigating them, and the press, of course, didn't notice.
Would the Clintons be so low as to fire 93 to give cover to the one they really wanted out? I think you know the answer.
Watched the panel on Brit Hume's program last evening and even Kondracke and Liason couldn't find a way to say that Gonzales had done anything wrong.
I am glad this story is being told again to put off the hypocritial bums in the Dem party, especially self-serving and hypo champion Hillary!
At least Mort and Mara had the good sense to not try.
If I were Bush, I would have considered firing them all back in 2000. Who in the world would want to even touch these people's hands let alone over see them in their administration. They have to be awfully greasy being appointed by the Clintons.
Frankly, given the media frenzy over these few I believe it was a good thing that didn't happen. The 2006 elections might have been much worse. As it is we have an evenly divided senate so we're pretty much safe.
I don't agree.
The problem is that all the Republicans in D.C., including the WH have no guts, no fight, no internal fortitude to use the bully pulpit and freakin LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Frist should have gone Nuclear long, long ago. Hastert should have gone back to wrestling coaching over 5 years ago, not now after he squandered the majority.
The most opportune window of this country's history was wasted away on nothing but two SCOTUS appointees, and a handful of Circuit people.
So little gained for so much power that COULD have been wielded.
They all make me sick!!!!!
