Has Bush ever fired anyone?

[funflower]

It seems to me that his sole core value is loyalty, undoubtedly learned from his preppy school chums and secretive family. I think he'll keep Rove until the day the indictment comes down.

1. George Tenet

I don't care what they called it.

[funflower]

3. Hmmm.... That kind of fits my theory. Tenet wasn't in the Shrub Club to

begin with.

[TomClash]

8. You can bank on that nt

[funflower]

13. What's your Madrid 1936 quotation?

Hablo un poco espanol, pero no comprendo. Que es la historia de 1936 Madrid?

16. Spanish Civil War

"NO pasaran!" was the republican cry to stop the fascists from taking the country. It was on many posters of the era.

2. Paul O'Neil

[funflower]

4. Ah, yes. What were the circumstances of that again?

[MajorFlaw]

5. O'Neill gave shrub the bad news that his economic plan would only

succeed in Hegel's inverted world.

[funflower]

10. How disloyal of him.

[hlthe2b]

6. Besides Tenet, Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke (forced out)...

Bush was Poppy Bush's hatchet man. He notoriously dismissed some of his staff--Sununnu?

[Greeby]

9. How bout Powell?

I believe Powell's resignation was demanded from Bush when Powell told him they were losing in Iraq.

11. Welcome to DU, Greeby!

:bounce:

7. Sammy Sosa, when Bush was a Texas Ranger owner

Bush has called trading Sosa to the Cubs the biggest mistake of his life. Never mind Iraq or a few others.

[funflower]

12. He has a long history of bad decisions.

He's really never succeeded at anything, has he?

[MajorFlaw]

17. The shrub was merely a puppet as "owner" of the Rangers, much as he

is, well you can figure out the rest.

[Scurrilous]

14. The White House Chef...

...or was that Laura?

Maybe he can get Laura to fire Rove...:thumbsup:

[susu369]

20. That is hilarious

[no_hypocrisy]

15. During his GHW Bush's administration, he fired John Sununu

Or at least he tried to. He "fired" Sununu in such a way the target didn't get the missile and after * left, other staff members had to tell Sununu that it was all over at the WH.

* is no good even with a slam dunk. He can't hold a job and he certainly is no executive.

18. Some folks think that if they fire someone that they hired,,,,

it reflects badly on their own judgement (of hiring them in the first place)

I used to work for a man like this,,,, he used to leave a copy of the Sunday Paper's job listings on a guy's desk each Monday morning,,,,

[Last Lemming]

19. Why fire?

When defenestration is so much quicker?

21. Christine Todd Whitman

Apparently, she cared about the environment

[gizmo1979]

22. Yes,however

never anyone who agrees with him.
