Inspector General Gerald Walpin, whom President Obama fired without good cause
On his most recent Hardball program, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews explored a long-forgotten controversy that evidently continues to haunt him – the role that Republican strategist Karl Rove may have played “in the firing of those federal prosecutors [by President Bush] back in 2006.” “Some emails,” Matthews reported breathlessly, “shed light on his role in the firings.” Joining Matthews to discuss the matter were Michael Isikoff of Newsweek and David Corn of the pro-socialist publication Mother Jones.
At issue was the Bush administration’s 2006 replacement of eight federal attorneys who were, by definition, the chief federal law-enforcement officials in their districts. They were also, by definition, political appointees whom the President was under absolutely no obligation to retain; such appointees serve at the pleasure of the President and are subject to dismissal by the latter at any time.

hey crissie...obama is prez now remember? he OWNS it all. Get used to it.
That’s becuase the DUMBOcritters are desperate. The people are speaking up LOUD AND CLEAR now.
Tough call .... Keith Olberman is worse ....
He’ll never forget that Karl Rove pantsed him in high school.
OMG! BWAHAHAHH! I think I’m gonna have a stroke!
