		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think bithead was not referring to former President Clinton, but to former Congressman Jefferson, best known for the FBI finding tens of thousands of dollars in his freezer in 2005, giving new meaning to the term &quot;cold cash&quot;. I too wonder why he has not been charged to date, although since the Bush Administration was able to do so for over 3 years, I am not ready to call this a conspiracy by the Obama Administration. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I suggest that  would be because you operate under the misguided notion that when the administration changes from one party to another, that  the mid to low level operates in the DOJ change loyalties.
 
&lt;blockquote&gt;By the light of day, I see you are right about that. (though I think my point about bits clinton obsession remains valid)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So, Anjin is proven wrong but still thinks he&#039;s right. Sorta like &#039;fake but accurate&#039;... where the vibes and the outcome of the thing, not the facts, are paramount. 

(Yawn) Nothing new here. Go on about your lives, citizens.</description>

		<description>Dantheman, 
 
By the light of day, I see you are right about that. (though I think my point about bits clinton obsession remains valid). It does seem odd that Jefferson has not been prosecuted, but then the Bush DOJ  had ample opportunity to go after him. And yes, bits outrage is highly selective. What else is new? </description>

		<description>anjin, 
 
I think bithead was not referring to former President Clinton, but to &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Jefferson&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;former Congressman Jefferson&lt;/a&gt;, best known for the FBI finding tens of thousands of dollars in his freezer in 2005, giving new meaning to the term &quot;cold cash&quot;.  I too wonder why he has not been charged to date, although since the Bush Administration was able to do so for over 3 years, I am not ready to call this a conspiracy by the Obama Administration. 
 
On the other hand, I await with bated breath bithead&#039;s explanation of why the Holder DOJ started with Stevens as an example of prosecutorial misconduct, instead of prominent Democrats such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Siegelman&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Don Siegelman&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Wecht&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cyril Wecht&lt;/a&gt;. </description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh, yeah. Forgot, huh?&lt;/blockquote&gt; 
 
No, we remember that you remain, after all these year, obsessed with Clinton. He was smart, successful, and women like him. No wonder you hate the guy. 
 
Most of us just have your inability to let go of this filed away under &quot;pathetic&quot;.. </description>

		<description>&quot;(there&#039;s that echo again)&quot;

Echoes are to be expected when loud noises emanate from large hollow spaces, but we&#039;ve gotten used to hearing them when you speak.

&quot;in that intensified scrutiny, can you imagine the reaction of the press and the left ...  had Bush intervened in the slightest, to halt the investigation/ prosecution started by someone at mid level in the DOJ?&quot;

Bithead logic at its finest.  There was no initial press outcry last time, which only proves that there will be one this time.</description>

		<description>Dantheman,far from crippling my argument you further my point, by adding that context. 

The Stevens thing started AFTER all the attention was focused on the DOJ firings.  So again, I ask...in that intensified scrutiny, can you imagine the reaction of the press and the left (there&#039;s that echo again) had Bush intervened in the slightest, to halt the investigation/ prosecution started by someone at mid level in the DOJ?</description>

		<description>&quot;Can you imagine the reaction of the press and the left (there&#039;s that echo again) had Bush intervened in the slightest, to halt the investigation/prosecution started by someone at mid level in the DOJ? &quot;

Sorry to muddy bithead&#039;s fantasies by actually raising facts, but we don&#039;t have to imagine -- we already know that there wouldn&#039;t be a press reaction.  The so-called liberal media was initially silent about &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dismissal_of_U.S._attorneys_controversy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the firing of the US Attorneys by the Bush Administration&lt;/a&gt; for not following high-level orders on who to prosecute.  It was only when the story was pushed by liberal bloggers and led to Congressional hearings that this matter was even covered.</description>

I suppose you could be right about the existence of magical evil liberal ponies that control shadow world-governments from their secret moon bases.  I just don&#039;t think you are.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Please tell me why this is a misguided notion. Common sense tells me that the prosecution of a sitting US Senator goes pretty high up the chain of command. Show me evidence that this isn&#039;t the case.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

For someone who tosses about the phrase &#039;common sense&#039; you seem to be lacking of it. Think now; Can you imagine the reaction of the press and the left (there&#039;s that echo again) had Bush intervened in the slightest, to halt the investigation/prosecution started by someone at mid level in the DOJ? 

Please.</description>

		<description>Floyd,

&quot;It must be noted that Democrat Toadies can only respond with grade school epithets...&quot;

Of course, you need to consider the person being responded to.  When one is responding to bithead, for whom facts and logic exist solely to get dismissed out of hand if they are inconvenient to his world view, it becomes necessary to sink to his level.</description>

 So you thought I was referring to Sam, and YOU think he is a Democrat toady?   Well...

Of course Michael, your no &quot;April Fool&quot;...
 Your like this all year-round!

BTW, It was only public schools, but some of us used those sorts of terms, and then were frustrated by having to explain them to the targets of our taunting.... The Democrat&#039;s kids![lol] [Hardly &quot;peers&quot; though] grinz</description>
