Bush was told countless times to get rid of all the clinton people.Same way with menita at DOT ???????????????
Bush couldn't get rid of civil servants, many of whom had their status changed in the days before Clinton left office.
Clinton left a lot of timebombs for Bush and making thousands of employees civil servants at the last minute is just one of those timebombs.
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.
