Doing Wrong

In the bizarre alternate-reality that is inhabited by the Bush administration, apparently Dick Cheney believes that if he says something often enough or publically enough, it becomes true. He came out of his cave last night to tell Larry King and the world that congressional investigations into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys is "a bit of a witch hunt." He said that there was no "wrongdoing."
I think it's time for us to remind Mr. Cheney, and perhaps the entire Executive Branch of the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act which says that "no person in the public service is for that reason under any obligations to contribute to any political fund, or to render any political service, and that he will not be removed or otherwise prejudiced for refusing to do so."

That, Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Cheney, is a law. And the fact that nine federal attorneys were fired without any explanation and all nine had previously clashed with the administration and no explanation has been offered by Mr. Gonzales in hours of sworn testimony, leads me (and anyone living in what we like to call reality) to the conclusion that there has indeed been "wrongdoing."
