OH PLLLEEEASE!


Former U.S. Attorney Griffin Gives Emotional Address at Clinton School

snip>>

Griffin addressed a lunchtime audience at the Clinton School of Public service Thursday, sometimes crying as he said he had no plans to return to politics. The Justice Department has drawn strident criticism from Democrats and Republicans for appointing Griffin and other replacement prosecutors without Senate hearings and is accused of inserting political partisans in those jobs.

Griffin is a protege of White House adviser Karl Rove.

Griffin resigned June 2nd. He says he wants to open what he termed a "bipartisan law practice."-----Your kidding me, right Grffin? bipartisan? :rofl:
Cry me a frickin' river. :cry:

1. What's this baby crying about?
Looks to me like he's gotten away with multiple felonies. I doubt if the Dems will EVER convict any of these Republican thugs of anything.

2. Give me a break! Quitting is probably the most noble thing he's ever done in his life.
He's not fit for the Department of Justice and honestly he's probably not fit for any sort of public office either.

4. What pained him the most was it was the Clinton School of Public Service
After the tutelage from Karl Rove, it must've been heartbreaking to realize that you've been doing the work of the Devil.

5. I've got a job for him.... anyone have an enlistment form I can send him?
I'm sure he could probably persuade his buddy Karl to go with him to "fight them over there"....

6. The irony of this story is crazy!
Tim Giffin, bipartisan, Clinton School of Public Service.

The only part that doesn't surprise me is the crying ala Duke Cunningham.

There is a video link at the KATV websight but I couldn't get it to load.

9. Alright, Tim, you can cry in my beer, but don't expect me to pay the tab.
Good riddance. "Public service" my eye. If there were any justice in the world, your next stint in public service would be making license plates as a guest of the state.

11. What's with all the Pubs and crying? Damn, I remember how hard
I fought against EVER crying in public because I was a girl, and if I cried, I'd just be seen as one of those damn wimpy emotional girls instead of a manager, and a leader. NOW all I see is Pub MEN crying, and at leat the ones I've seen appear to be fake tears too!

12. What's with all the crying lately?
First it was a hotel heiress, then the 'Pants' judge, now this guy.

Do tears really work when you've been caught with your 'pants down'?
