Yesterday shrubee kept using the word 'resignations'

[rurallib]

when talking about Attorneys who were removed from their jobs. I haven't seen this discussed here.
As a normal Repuke maneuver they try to blame the victims and in this case try to make it look like these folks left on their own volition, so why investigate?
Very similar to 'Plame wasn't covert'. Just to make sure these folks were 'asked for their resignations', right? Fired in other words.

[whistle]

1. The eight attorneys were fired Bush was word smithing

[napi21]

2. They were all ASKED TO RESIGN! That was documented at the Congressional hearings.

Even Gonzo hans't disputed that!

3. Yes. In the doc dump, you can even see the emails that outline this

(don't have the exact link handy, but there was one email in particular that provided the resignation template to the USAttys)

4. There's a great HuffPo article today about this

and the four other words he kept repeating. . .

The 5 Words Bush Wants Americans to Repeat

In a scripted moment of imperial bravado, President Bush held a press conference yesterday to address the scandal over his Attorney General having lied to Congress. Why this sudden move? In a word: framing.

~snip~

And so, as is par for this President's course whenever the White House is faced with a crisis, the goal of Bush's press appearance was not to inform the American public of any facts, but to force the White House's carefully scripted keywords into the debate--with the hope that journalists and Democrats would repeat them.

~snip

The following is a list of the 5 keywords dropped by Bush, yesterday--keywords that Americans should repeat only if they want to help President Bush deceive the American public by luring the debate away from the important issue of honesty in government:

1. resignation

2. leadership

3. explanation

4. incomplete

5. fishing

6. Oh that comment is good. Can I post? Pull it if I can't

The words need to be used frequently, just in a different context:

"The President must immediately submit his resignation due to his extremely poor explanation of his illegal behavior, his poor leadership in a time of crisis and his incomplete understanding of the law. Resign so you can go fishing, Mr President"

5. Language skills

Bush: "I wish I could speak English. It would make me a better person, and I'm all in favor of self-improvement. But as the Byrd of Avon once said, 'When the wind blows westerly, I can tell the difference between a hound and a handsaw.'"
