And Gordon and Dana Make Three

Senator Smith and Rep. Rohrbacher (really?) become the latest to say it's time for my main man Abu G. to go, and Rohrbacher's statement makes a lot of sense (really?!?!?):

“Even for Republicans this is a warning sign … saying there needs to be a change,” said Rohrbacher. “Maybe the president should have an attorney general who is less a personal friend and more professional in his approach.”

I've no complimented Jonah Goldberg and Dana Rohrbacher in one week.

I will now plunge needles through my eyes.

There's another mini-scandal related to the Prosecutor Purge scandal, incidentally, and that is that many of the emails between the White House and the Justice Department were not using White House email addresses, which actually is a no-no:

One email, sent to Justice Department Chief of Staff D. Kyle Sampson from J. Scott Jennings, White House Deputy Political Director, uses an email account, SJennings@gwb43.com, on a server owned by the Republican National Committee. This raises serious questions about whether the White House was trying to deliberately evade its responsibilities under the PRA, which directs the president to take all necessary steps to maintain presidential records to provide a full accounting of all activities during his tenure.

A number of other emails from Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove’s former assistant Susan Ralston to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff document Ms. Ralston’s use of three outside domains: rnchq.com (used for the headquarters of the Republican National Committee), georgebush.com and aol.com. In many of these emails Ms. Ralston is communicating inside White House information to Mr. Abramoff in response to Mr. Abramoff’s efforts to broker deals for his clients and place specified individuals in positions within the administration.

CREW has learned that to fulfill its statutory obligations under the PRA, the White House email system automatically copies all messages created by staff and sends them to the White House Office of Records Management for archiving. It appears that the White House deliberately bypassed the automatic archiving function of its own email system that was designed to ensure compliance with the PRA.

If it's the Bush Administration, nothing can be done completely legally, so cut 'em some slack, jack!
