Karl Rove, subject of numerous liberal consipracy theories, is testifying on Capitol Hill today before Rep. John Conyers' (D-MI) House Judiciary Committee. Mr. Rove's testimony concerns President Bush's (43) firing of several United States Attorneys. Democrats claim that President Bush's firing of the USAs was politically motivated, and therefore a dastardly plot by RethugliKKKans to enslave all of humanity.'Puter hopes Mr. Rove gives the committee a little review of the United States Code (28 USC §541(c)), with a healthy dose of sarcasm. USAs serve at the pleasure of the President and can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. No explanation required. 'Puter remembers a president who uncerimoniously fired all of the USAs when he took office. No uproar in liberal quarters about that. Where's the investigation of President Obama firing and replacing USAs as he entered office? 'Puter's waiting.
The official liberal line is that it's OK for Presidents Obama and Clinton to fire USAs when entering office, but not OK for President Bush to fire 8 or 9 USAs in the middle of his term.
Oh. Well, then. If you say so. 'Puter'll just ignore the rule of law and submit to Democrat rule by fiat now and beat the rush.
