Rudy and the Overblown Personnel Matter

March 13, 2007 By Mark Kleiman @markarkleiman

Guess who we haven’t heard a peep from on the U.S. Attorney purge? Why, that would be the only former U.S. Attorney now running for President. Why have reporters been giving him a pass on this story, which forces him to choose between his professional loyalties and buttering up the Bushoids? Is it because their lips are too firmly planed on Rudy’s posterior to allow them to ask any questions?

A wise woman, that Ella Wheeler Wilcox:

To sin by silence, when we should protest,

Makes cowards out of men.

Read the whole thing.

Update “Cowards of men,” indeed. Rudy doesn’t even have the stones to “no comment” in public; he’s “no commenting” through a spokesgeek.
