Pre-Emptive Saturday Night Massacre: Watergate, Bush-Style

Watergate and Prosecutor-gate… What makes them unalike?

Hunter has the crucial difference:

The difference between this and Nixon's infamous
"Saturday Night Massacre" is that Bush, unlike
Nixon, doesn't have to fire anyone to obstruct the
investigation into possible illegal acts by his
administration. (And to the extent he did, he already
fired those people -- the entire point of the current
investigation to begin with.)

In other words, this President is a pro-active obstructer-of-justice.
…Good to see he’s learned something from history.
