Suck 'n' blow

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Read Newsweek's Michael Isikoff on Bush's "Bloody Monday": "The White House was hit by two sudden resignations late Monday when Paul McNulty, a top Justice Department official, and Lanny Davis, the only Democratic member of the president’s civil liberties watchdog board, announced they were stepping down. Both resignations are likely to fuel allegations of White House political meddling in law enforcement and national security issues."

Fuel allegations, huh? No, really? I wonder why.

WaPo and CNN have more on the McNulty resignation. And for more reaction, see Memeorandum. In particular, see Think Progress (with video) and The Next Hurrah.

I don't have anything to add right now. This is the sort of story that more or less speaks for itself.

But I will give the award for best line goes to Chuck Schumer: "It seems ironic that Paul McNulty, who at least tried to level with the committee, goes while Gonzales, who stonewalled the committee, is still in charge. This administration owes us a lot better."

Indeed it does.
