Don't forget, Sherrod said that Cheryl Cook, the deputy undersecretary of whatever it was she did, told her she was getting pressure from the White House. If Cook invoked the White House's name when she shouldn't have, why is <i>she</i> not in trouble? The obvious answer is that she didn't use the WH's name out of turn.<br /><br />That, plus LRF's <a href="http://cujo359.blogspot.com/2010/07/were-ruled-by-lying-cowards.html" rel="nofollow">immediate anonymous denial</a> and the <a href="http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/60997" rel="nofollow">Messina happy dance</a> should make it clear this wasn't the SecAg's decision.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-34872627217564774292010-07-22T13:51:03.148-04:002010-07-22T13:51:03.148-04:00My thoughts exactly.

Rahm and Obama), I got a bridge in London to sell ya. Folks like Vilsack simply don't move that fast on political decisions, this was a decision made above his head by the political commisariate in an attempt to get ahead of the news cycle. Preznit Hopey Changey is trying to get plausible deniability by having his underlings do his dirty work, and thereby not having to take the blame if the underling screws it up. But I'll bet you $100 that if you look at Vilsack's phone logs for the hour before he called Sherrod to demand her resignation, you'll find Rahm Emmanuel's number there as the last caller before he called Sherrod.<br /><br />- Badtux the Kremlinology PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
