I support the Agricultural Secretary, Villsack being fired.
He showed poor judgment in asking her to resign without doing the proper investigation.

4. Let's be pragmatic about this!
We don't want a clusterchuck on our hands!

8. Yeah, let's replace him with a robot
because God forbid we have people in government who are imperfect human beings who make mistakes!

10. As long as the robot didn't have a Monsanto logo on it, I'm in favor of that

3. I would be more understanding if it had been Salon.com or even Huffingtonpost
that has posted the video..but BREITBART!!?? After ACORN??!! PUH-LEEZE!!!!
How many times does Brietbart have to do the same thing before it becomes obvious what they are up to?

and once again..

9. Well, Huffington Post did run with the story so I guess we should
never trust anything on Huffington Post from now on.

5. Faux News and their racist minion lie
and now we have to replace a Cabinet member in a nominally Democratic administration. I'm no Vilsack fan, but this is utterly lame.

This administration is weak, confused, ineffectual and other words I can't write here.

6. It's more than Sherrod. He supports Monsanto and GM agricultural products.
That's enough to have him replaced in my eyes.

7. Makes sense if you think he was operating alone
But I doubt that.

Firing him on his own merits of sucking is one thing, but firing for being the public face on a group-think PR decision is another.

11. Looks like Vilsack has jumped to the front of the line
ahead of Geithner, Rahm, Salazaar, Duncan.

The crusade continues

They shouldn't get one thing out of this.

15. Then the RW liars win
as we eat our own. Blame Breitbart, where the blame belongs.
