Artificial Distinction

Oh, for fuck's sake. Via TPM Muckracker, baby Rove-in-training Kyle Sampson is gonna opine on what "political" really means:.

Eight federal prosecutors were fired last year because they did not sufficiently support President Bush's priorities, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff says in remarks prepared for delivery Thursday to Congress.

"The distinction between 'political' and 'performance-related' reasons for removing a United States attorney is, in my view, largely artificial," said Kyle Sampson.

Well, in my opinion, the distinction between bushies and large, festering assholes is largely artificial.

Throw the bums out, and destroy the RNC before it destroys America. It's the only way to be sure.

Update: This is HIGH-LARIOUS. From the WAPO, in an editorial by Michael Waldman and Justin Levitt:

But the notion of widespread voter fraud, as these prosecutors found out, is itself a fraud. Firing a prosecutor for failing to find wide voter fraud is like firing a park ranger for failing to find Sasquatch.

Ouch.
