Five Quick Reasons Why Tenet's Resignation will HELP President Bush and the GOP 6-03-04 | jmstein7
Posted on 06/03/2004 7:54:40 AM PDT by jmstein7
This is a good development for the following reasons:
1) It will distract from the prison scandal -- which the public will begin to forget about.
2) It will be seen as a sign that the president is holding people accountable for perceived intelligence failures.
3) Tenet likes Bush personally (far, far better than he liked Clinton) and is more likely to write a Clinton-bashing book that a Bush-bashing book.
4) Confirmation hearings are a great way for the GOP to showcase Democrat obstructionism and shrillness -- which will not play well with the public.
5) Confirmation hearings will distract from the 'Rat Convention and draw public attention, reducing any "bounce" Kerry would normally get -- because coverage of the convention will be reduced by coverage of hearings.
All and all, this is VERY good news.
Feel free to weigh-in here with your opinion.

1. I agree with the posters' points |
|
though not that it is very good news. I think it was a strategically planned item to deal with some of the problems currently surfacing.

3. But it won't stop any indictments |
|
And a resignation is never good news. It just spotlights more problems.

2. The poster conveniently forgot |
|
about the indictments coming down. BTW, he also probably thinks Bush hiring a lawyer is "good news."

5. A total lack of responsibility |
|
The right seems to have a dettachment from the fall out of their actions. They see everything as a win at any cost scenario. If something horrible happens as a result of their actions they seem to see no ownership of the problem. Whatever they can do to make it vanish they will do.
