Resign Away

Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has announced his resignation from the Justice Department. Apparently all the heat that DoJ has been taking over the firing of 9 U.S. attorneys has gotten to him.

Charles Schumer (the senior senator from the lousy state of New York) was quoted as saying, "It seems ironic that Paul McNulty, who at least tried to level with the committee, goes while Gonzales, who stonewalled the committee, is still in charge." It seems that Schumer is as dumb as he is liberal (which is saying a lot). It should be obvious to everyone that McNulty's resignations, and the resignations of two other administration officials, is not because they, or anyone else for that matter, did something wrong, but because the press and congress has been blowing this way out of proportion and they don't want to be accused of something they didn't do.

The press jumps on Bush for the firing of 9 attorneys for "political purposes" and ignore the fact that Clinton, on assuming office, fired over 90 attorneys, but of course Bill Clinton wasn't a political animal, heck no, but George Bush sure is. Does anyone else sense a double standard?

One would think the press and congress would "build a bridge and get over it" by this time, but once Scooter Libby's trial was over they needed a new "scandal" and so now they're waiting for the next action, that could possibly be interpreted by them as a scandal, to happen.

While, I've come to expect this from the media it doesn't make me any less mad that only the Democrats can get away with anything, including murder. Right, Senator Kennedy?
