Prior to Hurricane Katrina, I think it was pretty perplexing for many people why the Bush administration never fired anyone when mistakes were made and, in some cases, rewarded perceived incompetence., and getting legal help for this is important, and you can navigate to this website<\/a> to find more information about this.<\/p>\n

There’s an understanding within the administration that everyone knows where the bodies are buried. Furthermore, the understanding seems to be that nobody will do the “honorable thing” and “fall on their sword.” Michael Brown<\/a> appeared<\/strong> to sacrifice himself so the administration could keep credibility, but when he was subsequently called before Congress, he promptly threw his boss, Michael Cherthoff, under the bus.<\/p>\n

So, too, it appears with Scooter Libby<\/a>. The administration might have thought Libby would be the fall guy for the Valerie Plame affair<\/a>, but his lawyers seem to think otherwise.<\/p>\n

Of course, both of these are minor players. What would happen if Cheney or Rumsfeld was fired? Or Karl Rove? Then we’d find out some real shit<\/strong> about Bush. Because nobody wants to take the blame and everyone wants to place it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
