The Privileged
Forget the fact that the Bushies caught up in the attorney scandal can't really hide within the "executive privilege" bunker since the right-wing trolls have completely destroyed that concept during Monicagate. The fact that they used RNC e-mail addresses to plan the prosecutor purges should deny them that excuse, Kevin Drum explains.

Hmmm, so where was the Lefts outrage when Clinton fired all 93 of the US Prosecutors on his watch ? Where was the lefts outrage when wagging dog Clinton used the military to bomb Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia with out even asking Congress ? Where was the outrage when Clinton pardoned 287 criminals on his last day in his last hour without even consulting the FBI/CIA or even the House or the Senate ?
Just remember Folks, Socialism is two steps away from communism.

First of all, Clinton, like every other president, replaces political appointees, including U.S. prosecutors, at the beginning of his term. That's why you never heard about your current Bush firing all the prosecutors during the beginning of his presidency. The issue here is that he is later purging prosecutors for purely partisan purposes.
It's interesting how conservatives like to cut and run on Somalia, the Balkans and Afghanistan during the Clinton administration, but it's treasonous to talk about the same thing concerning the clusterfuck in Eye-Rack.
And the last time I checked, a President doesn't have to talk to anyone when handing out pardons. That's why Ford can pardon Nixon and Bush The First can pardon everyone involved in the Iran-Contra scandal.
Remember, conservatism means never having to think about anything.
