For some of the Bush administration's most energetic spinners, it looks like it's finally safe to get back into the water.
OK, in truth, some of them never really got out. But we can't help noticing that in the last few weeks, several prominent spokespeople for the last administration have been back in the media spotlight, triggering memories of those halcyon early years of the century.
PERMALINK | COMMENTS | RECOMMEND RECOMMEND (2)In an appearance on Fox today, Dana Perino continued the attack on the Obama Administration's handling of the attempted Christmas bombing, dismissing comparisons to the Richard Reid shoe-bombing case as "apples and oranges."
Despite the similarities between the two cases, and despite the fact that President Bush had OKed the use of military tribunals in November 2001, a month before the shoe bombing attempt, Perino argued that the context in which the two cases unfolded were significantly different.
PERMALINK | COMMENTS | RECOMMEND RECOMMEND (3)This is fun. In the trove of Bush White House documents released by the House Judiciary Committee is an email chain from November 2006 in which Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino first learns of the plan to purge U.S. Attorneys.
Perino's reaction after getting the heads-up email and the attached "USA replacement plan.doc"?
"Someone get me an oxygen can!!"
