If they are all out to get you, you can still be paranoid

At the GSA presentation, the agency's chief, Lurita Alexis Doan, according to a witness, demanded of her employees, "How can we use GSA to help our candidates in the next election?" But when the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing on March 28, Doan's short-term memory loss grew progressively worse as she spoke. "There were cookies on the table," she said. "I remember coming in late -- honestly, I don't even remember that." At a break, she ordered an assistant to remove her water glass, unaware that the microphone in front of her was still on. "I don't want them to have my fingerprints," she said. "They've got me totally paranoid!"

Hah! That's because the world is out to get you, fruitcake! We've determined that you're not fit for your position, based on things that someone testified, under oath, that you did. If you'd managed to at least mount a cogent defense, it may have inspired mercy. But sitting there and squirming like that, on the verge of flaking out ... It turns my stomach that you were in charge of a major government agency. So you'll have to sit still, child, as the grownups determine whether you should be prosecuted, or simply fired.

Seriously, someone put you in charge of important shit like the government's toilet paper supply? You're exactly what's wrong with the US.

Response to jaw-droppingly hypocritical article on NSC Site

"Instead of listening to the Democratic Party's extreme fringe, Sen. Reid should listen to the Generals who have made clear the consequences facing our military if Democrats in Congress continue to play politics instead of passing an emergency troops funding bill the President can sign."

– White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino, 4/3/07

So there you have it, folks. The White House has made it perfectly, crystal clear to everyone that playing politics shall forever their sole domain. The lesser co-equal branches of government should just keep their rubber stamps at hand and inked.
