U.S. Attorneys Massacre of 2006 – the nutshell version

For the right-wingers who don’t care what’s right, and their major media minions who are either closet right-wingers themselves, are too lazy to try, or will fill space with whatever is fed to them:

Bill Clinton fired one U.S. Attorney mid-term who bit a topless dancer, and another one who tried to strangle a reporter. He didn’t fire anybody for being honest.

The richness of possible allusions is amazing. The nasty letter to the "Honest-Eight" went out on December 7, 2006 -- once again, "a date that shall live in infamy" (as noted earlier), and another indicator of just how royally stupid these people are. Maybe it should be the "Thursday Night Massacre" or "The Eight-Men Out Massacre." I like "The Honest Eight Massacre," too.

(In case some of you young-uns don't get why we are so fixated on the word "Massacre," when Nixon kept firing Special Prosecutors who would not do what he wanted to protect himself in the Watergate Scandal (most notably a highly-respected lawyer named Archibald Cox), it was dubbed "The Saturday Night Massacre." You can get better detail [that's probably right] in Wikipedia, of course.)
