First you complain that I was "sensationalizing a few bad apples at the top. Their rot did not always trickle down..."

So I showed you how it trickled down at DoJ wth five examples of improper and/or illegal conduct in the agency that is supposed to uphold and enforce the laws of the US.

I point to change in FOIA policies based on the respective memos and more openness and transparency with a new presumption of releasing information as opposed to previous policy of finding a legal justification not to release information.

And I point you back to the issue of IGs, who are responsible for providing impartial oversight and upholding the integrity of the agencies in the executive branch..and where 2/3 of Bush's appointments across the board in such agencies were political (and not qualified based on legal, audit or investigation experience) ignoring the standards identified in the law for the appointment of IGs...far more than Clinton.

Then you "sensationalize" by pointing out one guy's tax problems that has no bearing on his performance in office since he just took office.

Damn...denial ain't just a river in Africa...its alive in well in the Cellar.

Fact... The eavesdropping on Americans, that everyone complained about like they were having their first born child stolen from them, was eventually approved by the Demoncratically controlled Congress, almost identical in verbage as Bush wanted it. They sold out.

What part of that don't you get?

Bush circumvented FISA and did it illegally and w/o FISA court oversight. Congress (Ds and Rs) corrected that illegal action by strengthening the last FISA bill they enacted so it wouldnt happen that way again.

Merc...I ignored all the comments I read here about you being a flaming asshole and I tried.

I've concluded they were right.

I give up.

You don't want your kids sucking a pipe after their bowl of cornies do you?...well do you???

Actually, considering the munchies, maybe it was a bad decision to dump him. Instead, they could have come up with a new slogan. Something like, "For the times when you just have to eat something!"
