@shooter
Yeah, I remember the details about every blowjob I've ever had.

Ha ha ha shooter why bother?
Some people here obviously don't get that you are a gimmick poster but I do. I enjoy your posts for what the are - obvious parody.
There literally isn't a single thing anyone can point out about a Republican that you can't bend over backwards to excuse. It's really brilliant satire, and I salute you for it.
Why should the Attorney General know anything about the firing of USAs? Why that doesn't make any sense at all!!!
Keep up the good work, I really enjoy it. You should get an Onion column like the old "Ask a Worker Bee."

Tsk. Sure there is, the problem is that the things I criticise about Bush are the things you folks approve of, and thus are never mentioned. Overspending and lax immigration policy are but two examples.

A case of arrested development
Glenn's second point, that Bush will do the exact opposite of what is demanded of him is a perfect example of development arrested in adolescence, probably due to substance abuse. Like most substance abusers he likely started drinking in his teens which increased during his college years. While many people drink to excess while in college, some, such as the president, continue on through adulthood and either end up in the terminal stages of alcoholism, or recovery through treatment. Most people moderate or end their drinking and continue on with their development into adulthood. People who do not generally don't see, or misinterpret, the societal cues that help them transition into adulthood because they are in an altered state due to alcohol. The president stopped drinking in his forties, cold turkey, without treatment. And, without treatment, he didn't do the necessary work to get caught up with the development he left behind in his youth.
All of the character flaws we see in the president are common attributes of adolescence: defying authority for the sake of defying (the Baker-Hamilton report, Congressional oversight, the will of the people), refusing to take responsibility for one's actions, lying and evading when confronted with facts, blaming others for your own mistakes, taking revenge on those who oppose you, impulsivity and poor judgement (invading Iraq), etc. You could add male, tribal bonding rituals (loyalty pacts, tests of male superiority, etc.).
If only one thing is learned from this failed presidency I hope that it is: Never, ever, elect to high public office an untreated alcoholic.

Irrelevant!
It's clear that wordcounts of Clinton's dithering don't bear nearly as much on this case as the quantified waffling of Warren Harding, William Henry Harrison, or James K. Polk.
Can someone please do a phrase-count on them? That'll clear this up.

Refreshing
It is refreshing to see Senators from both parties going after the AG. It gives me some hope that there might be some integrity left in government and politics. Then again there is Orin Hatch
