No Linda Tripps in the Obama White House.
Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 12:48 PM by onehandle
Linda Tripp was an employee in the George H. W. Bush administration, and kept her job when Bill Clinton took over in 1993.

You know the rest.

Obama just fired all of Bush's political ambassadors. Keep going, Mr. President Elect and soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm.

I understand and approve of keeping a few high profile individuals such as Gates, but as for the rest, fire them all.

Every Bush administration employee (outside of non-political people who serve the White House in other ways) should be shown the door.

Fire them all.

No Linda Tripps in the Obama White House.


ON EDIT: This is Not about Sex. This is about SPIES AND SABOTEURS in the White House. Do you want ANY leftover Bush employees there?




That being said, None of us expect Obama to have a sex scandal, but never say never. Democrats have had several zipper problems in the last year or two.

4. Doesn't fucking matter. This isn't about Bill Clinton.
No spies. No saboteurs. Period.

As for Obama, I don't expect that either, but we have had several high profile Democrats caught with their pants down in the last year or so.

Take no fucking chances. Fire them all.

9. i cant understand why
some people who are so high profile cant do as good of a job keeping their secrets as your average high school senior

i look at the list on both parties who have been rendered useless because of sex and i have to laugh

too bad its so damn sad

i can only account for myself so my thinking is as long as they arent screwing me i dont really care who or what they screw
but you would think that if you were a major pervert(as most caught seem to be)you would be better at the whole low profile thing

2. I think a good start
would be to fire every shrub appointment and then hunt around to find the pricks that manage to burrow in by having their appointment jobs converted to civil service career positions and find a reason to fire them too. Shit if shrubbo and his henchmen/women can fire all the US attorneys why not continue the practice.

3. clinton also fired all the US attorneys
its pretty common
i do agree with you about gouging out every one of them you can find
and if the civil service laws wont let him fire them
well there must be a mail room in every federal building
let them work there

5. Fortunately, Barack Obama has the self control to keep his hormones in check.
Even if there were a Linda Tripp persona, her presence would be of no consequence. :shrug:

16. She wasn't even in the White House. She had the ears to the WH though to cause trouble.
But this is a case where they need to have smaller government. Just fine tune it to her department. Or have her transferred to the worse possible position that would lend herself to not performing her job satisfactorily.

17. She worked in the White House until 1994. She should have been gone on January 20th, 1992.
She was moved to the Pentagon. From there she still had access through connections and did her damage.

No Linda Tripps as of January 20th, 2009. Fire them all.
