Where did the Bushie US attorney firings go really wrong?

OK. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am a big picture and a process thinker. I like to see how things relate together before digging into the details, and when I dig into the details my first questions are always "How and why did it get this way?" Caused me some real problems studying accounting, let me tell you. Accounting teachers (and mathematics teachers) tend to teach the details first, and only after that link them to the big picture and the processes.

Yeah, Right. So what?

So here is an interesting process type discussion. What have the Bushies done with the US attorney firing scandal that closely resembles the process used by the Delta Zeta sorority when they kicked all the girls who were overweight, minority, or otherwise not considered attractive in stereotypical female terms? Eli at Firedoglake answers that question.

The two events have a very similar process, especially in how they treat those who are kicked out. The reactions of those who were kicked out are very similar, also, and highly predictable.

Looking at the decisions eliminate the unpresentable attorneys or girls and the process of insulting them on the way out, what did they expect those rejected individuals to do?

Go read Eli at Firedoglake.

Do you think the people doing the rejecting had a scintilla [*] of empathy for the rejectees?

Conservatives operate from fear, and do not normally have empathy for those who oppose them.


[*] First time I ever got to use that word. Interesting word, isn't it? It means a spark or a trace.
