No one disputes that Domenici's call to Iglesias was at best inappropriate. But there's been a lack of direct evidence that Iglesias's refusal to bow to political pressure led directly to his firing. Now we have that evidence. And it's not Kyle Sampson or even Alberto Gonzales whom Domenici went to to get sign off for Iglesias's ouster. It was right to the president. And the available evidence now points strongly to the conclusion that the final decision to fire David Iglesias came from the President of the United States.
Once more, with feeling!

Is Antonio Gonzales any relation to Alberto Gonzales? If you're going to spread left-wing hate and discontent, at least get the names of your targets right. Sheesh.
Thanks anonymous! Mistakes were made. I don't recall typing the name Antonio, but I accept full responsibility. I trust the judgment of the senior department staff...uh...I mean spell checker...to catch most errors. In this case, things should have been done differently. However, I maintain that absolutely nothing improper occurred here. I trust that you will continue to read the blog, and work with me during this difficult time.
P.S. Left-wing hate?
