Collecting Heads

First to go: Elizabeth Brinbaum of MMS

At today's presser, President Obama took great pains to inform us that people who charge that he has been "detached" from the crisis "don't know the facts". Later when he was asked whether Birnbaum resigned or was fired he answered, “You’re assuming it was a firing,” Mr. Obama said. “I don’t yet know the circumstances.” Maybe the President just didn't know the facts there. But if we can't say he didn't have the facts as a result of his detachment, what do we assume next? Dishonesty? Stupidity?

Maybe it's just confusion. Maybe BP wrote Birnbaum's resignation letter for her in pencil and she traced it over in pen as per standard MMS operating procedure. Could be the President wasn't prepared to include that explanation in the rest of that condescending bullshit lecture he just gave us.
