From "the most ethical administration in history"...

[GeronL]

“We are proud to defend our corrupt practices and we have the political courage to fire the whistleblowers”

[shadeaud]

about as much political courage as littleman’s attack on Gov.Palin’s family

[avacado]

They admit it! He was fired for political reasons and not job performance.

[SkyDancer]

Then why didn’t the MSM get their thongs in a twist over Bush firing 8 AG’s but nothing over Clinton firing all of them when he took office?

[ArrogantBustard]

I seem to recall hearing that it was a violation of the law ... a law sponsored by the (then) junior Senator from Illinois ... one "Barack Hussein 0bama".

[Nervous Tick]

>> A top White House lawyer called the firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin an act of “political courage,”

Corruption is Courage.

War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength

On another note, it seems they have changed their story from “Walpin is suffering from dementia!” to “Walpin does not play well with others!”.

[RC2]

Should have said “Political Suicide”.

[windsorknot]

Sort of like swatting flies.

[pepsionice]

Probe one...of another forty before 2012. I can’t see how you avoid not appointing an investigator and having to face some senate committee to explain how “political courage” really works.

[4Speed]

It does take some courage to break the Law, especially if you once endorsed the same law you broke as Senator.
Couragous Crook ?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Barky’s digging his own grave!

[gimme1ibertee]

Thugocracy in action.

[MediaMole]

So, “Working Well” with the leadership means nodding your head and agreeing with them?

An IG should have a reasonably adversarial relationship with the leadership. He should make sure they are following the law and not wasting taxpayer money.

[HamiltonJay]

Thugocracy in action.

I woke up one day and found I lived in a banana republic with an arse monkey in the white house.

[Always Right]

Lying = Courage! ... Damn, Clinton wasn’t even that arrogant to try that spin.

[Unam Sanctam]

I’m thinking of a word beginning with C, but it ain’t courage — like corruption, or perhaps Chicago...

[madison10]

How come I keep seeing Baghdad Bob every time this administration defends breaking the law?

[Renkluaf]

I imagine most Dims & the media would view Obama getting out of bed in the morning as an "act of political courage."

You say pota-to and I say potah-to...

[Jack of all Trades]

Wow, these guys are even incompetent at being corrupt. I'm not the best liar, but even I know that once you pick a story, you stick with it until the very end.

Which it it: incoherent, or not a team player?

[Martin Tell]

Interesting.

They have abandoned the "dazed and confused" defense - obviously not a winner based on Walpin's numerous sharp appearances in the last two days - and have reverted to "Walpin's a Republican hack with an ax to grind".

This was their initial story.

Be prepared for "Walpin's a racist bastard" defense next;.

This has legs. Even the NY Slimes has finally reported it, well the "dazed and confused" version.

Guess the Slimes will now have to report that we are no longer at war with EastAsia.

Popcorn, anyone?
