Tell us all EXACTLY how Bush goes about this; since you seem to be aware of some method that is not known to the rest of us for ridding the government of CAREER employees, do tell us how it's done.
No messing around now; post the EXACT procedure and laws/rules that allow Bush to fire ANYBODY he wants to from the administration.
So putting private citizen Al Gore through a security screening at an airport ... as the law demands ... is a homage by Bush to the "Fetishistic Rituals of Liberalism". What the H is she babbling about? So it wasn't really Bush ... it wasn't really even Bush's Transportation Department ... it was a Security guard doing his job and following the law in an American airport. That was a pathetic and torturous link to the President. By the way, what is construed as any fetish or ritualism - identified with Liberals - associated with an airport security checkpoint that screens citizens for weapons betwen the ticket area and the gates? That's an unusual process, I've only been doing it since 1983 or so. It's contrived, alarming nonsense.
Second, Robert Mueller stated that the official policy of the FBI is to not racially profile any specific group of Americans. It is! OK .... so what? You don't think it's happening as a field prerogative out in the real world? By professional cops, some of the best in the world, determined to waylay Muslim mayhem and murder? Of course it is, is he going to say that to Feingold? Does Feingold know it's happening, and appreciate it? Yes on both counts.
The rest is about Feingold and bad jokes about Gore and .... what a Freeping disaster this thing was.
More manure on the FR heap.
Linda, we NEVER posted fraudulent crap about Buchanan or Keyes in 2000. We didn't need to, we SUPPORTED someone. The dishonesty on Free Republic is no longer alarming, no longer angering, it's like a bunch of Commie propagandists. Spouting nothing. What do these people get out of jumping on a wheeless bandwagon? They look like jackasses. They are jackasses.

He has the power, Howlin. The question is does he have the will. Oh, and he could start by replacing the heads of the FBI and the CIA.
Well, I don't know the exact procedure, Howlin...but I do know Slick didn't seem to have any problem unloading those 100 U.S. Attorneys. Refresh my memory, didn't he pull that on his first day on the job?
