Funniest Line Of The Day

It's a tie between the unintentional irony of Chuck Schumer:

Fourth, we were told that the White House was not really involved in the plan to fire U.S. attorneys. This, too, turns out to be false.

Harriet Miers was one of the masterminds of this plan, as demonstrated by numerous e-mails made public today.

Harriet Miers couldn't mastermind a game of Mastermind. She was doing her boss' bidding.

The other line of the day, as a corollary to above, is from Thers:

I think it's horrible how these lower-level flunkies keep ruining the administration's reputation through their reckless carrying out of orders.

Heh indeedy.

By the way, here's one of the more damning documents to be dumped today, detailing the attorneys who are "in the process of being pushed out," Sampson's words.

I am only in favor of executing on a plan to push some USAs out if we really are ready and willing to put in the time necessary to select candidates and get them appointed -- it will be counterproductive to DOJ operations if we push USAs out and then don't have replacements ready to roll immediately. In addition, I strongly recommend that, as a matter of policy, we utilize the new statutory provisions that authorize the AG to make USA appointments. [...] By not going the PAS route, we can give far less deference to home-State Senators and thereby get (1) are preferred person appointed and (2) do it far faster and more efficiently, at least cost to the White House.
