In pursuit of a short-term political benefit, Democrats are in danger of establishing a ruinous new standard in American politics - one they'll come to regret and rue when they take the White House again.Pseudoscandals? Now why does that sound familiar to me? Oh yeah. You creeps harangued Bill Clinton to such a degree that he was almost unable to govern. And now you want to warn the Dems that they shouldn't make the same mistake, they shouldn't engage in a partisan witch-hunt, as did you assholes?

By inflating the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys into a major political scandal with the suggestion that the act of dismissing them is a scandal demanding congressional oversight, they're creating a new political reality.

The longer this goes on, the easier it will be for pseudoscandals to be ginned up in the future whenever a certain type of official working in the executive branch is removed from his job.
Well, I have another suggestion: your mentally and socially atrophied standard-bearer has done more than perhaps any other president to expand executive power. This power, which you refer to as the "unitary executive" gives the president almost unlimited leeway during a national crisis, right? Well, this country has been taken over by a criminal racket disguised as a political party. The GOP might as well be the Gambino Family. Sure sounds like a crisis, to me.
So, how about a little unitary executive payback? I think I'd enjoy watching that.

I'd say that firing U.S. attorneys because they won't prosecute Democrats for political reasons more than just a "pseudoscandal," wouldn't you?
