According to a reporter from The Washington Post, Eugene Robinson, Sara Palin's speech made people overf look a critical story that was released by the Justice Department. Evidence that political partisan considerations were an important factor in the removal of several U.S. attorneys. I'm not necessarily sure who Robinson's intended audience was suppose to be, it seems to be just the general public. Considering the statement that was noted, "The investigators wanted to ask White House political czar Karl Rove, White House counsel Harriet Miers, Goodling, Domenici and Domenici's chief of staff about any role they played in Iglesias' dismissal. All refused to be interviewed." shows that Robinson's statement dealing with the removal of U.S. attorneys had political partisan consideration purposes. Robinson's claim comes with not concrete evidence that makes it true, but detail evidence that makes Robinson's prediction more believeable. Robinson states that"The people who have been running our government for the past eight years have nothing but contempt for government." which basically shows what side Robinson is coming from. I personally have to agree with Robinson, people will do possibly anything to keep their status in the office. If there are obstacles in my way, I am obviously going to see what way I can remove them. This just goes the same for people in office that what to keep "staying" in office. I feel like people that don't do much for the government should be removed anyway, but if they do something and get taken out due to political popularity. I definately do not agree.
