PS, I realize McCaskill’s comment was published the same day this post was put up, so I apologize for implying that its omission was intentional. I’m sure you’d agree the updated information is helpful, though.

This “inquiry” by Senator McCaskill is a slight of hand trick. By looking like some DEM Senator is “getting to the bottom of this” it puts the issue on the back burner where it eventually fades to nothing.It also gives the state run media a defense against NOT following upon it. It’s all slight of hand.

[...] Ed Morrissey asks the questions Sen. McCaskill didn’t ask: Now, if the White House thought that Walpin was somehow incapacitated or disoriented, why bother to make that call at all? In fact, wouldn’t an employer with an ounce of empathy send the employee to a physician for diagnosis first? Even without the empathy, the proper course would have been to address the issue with Congress first instead of making an intimidation attempt to someone the White House now paints as all but senile.

[...] HotAir offers the following concise account as to what happened prior to Gerald Walpin being dismissed for being older than retarded: Let’s unwind the timeline a bit to test this new allegation. Walpin pressed hard to prosecute Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson for defrauding the government over more than $400,000 in community service grants. Johnson, an Obama supporter, got a deal from the White House that allowed him to manage federal funds again and avoid paying back at least half of the grant money he used illegally. The White House cut Walpin out of those negotiations, and Walpin went to Congress about it. [...]

I asked a couple of my Leftist friends about Walpin’s illegal sacking yesterday.

They both responded that it was more important to go after the “real” criminals who had run the country for the 8 years before O’bama floated in.

That’s the NPR and PBS slant on things; I guess they know where their bread is coming from. Interview after interview of Wall street pundits stating how the bankers live in their own world of privilege and power, and that the pursuit of said privilege and power destroyed the economy. Not a world about NINJA loans or how the major banks were, as a condition of continued business, forced by the Dems (including, in the case of Citibank, Obama himself) to make these loans and buy the paper bundles Freddie and Fannie concocted to help grease the housing bubble.

I’ve given up listening to KCRW (my local NPR station) because their news and reports is so slanted.
