Dana Perino On US Attorney Firings Scheme: 'I Can't Breathe'

This is fun. In the trove of Bush White House documents released by the House Judiciary Committee is an email chain from November 2006 in which Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino first learns of the plan to purge U.S. Attorneys.

Perino's reaction after getting the heads-up email and the attached "USA replacement plan.doc"?

"Someone get me an oxygen can!!"

Lest you think Perino was mocking the plan as no big deal, here's how she responded when another communications staffer noted that one of the to-be-purged attorneys prosecuted Rep. Randy 'Duke' Cunningham (R-CA), and another was probing Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ):

"Give me a double shot -- I can't breathe."

(end snip)

Wonder if Dana's insurance would cover than oxygen? Hmmm?

That she was a party to planning on that level? That she was something more than a prize-stroker?
