Wow that was fun. Maybe we could do one comparing lives lost between Ashcroft and Reno. Maybe a chart about how many children sent back to Cuba.
How about how many people freed between Carter and Reagan and Clinton and Bush.
Maybe a chart of how many Administration people indicted between Clinton and Bush. How bout pardons sold?
Oh please Hal. Do some charts for us.

W....STILL the president

Why don't you? You can even post them here if you want. I'd love to see you do some actual analysis for a change, rather than just spouting your ideological clap trap.

W - Still lied about WMD
Rummy - Still responsible for torture
