Bunky, we have a problem here

Lawmakers asked Kyle Sampson about who drew up the list of U.S. Attorneys to be fired and how those names got on the list. Dunno, he said. They asked Alberto Gonzales. Beats me, he said. They asked Paul McNulty. Ask everybody else, he said. They asked Monica Goodling. Ask anybody else, she said.

As Kevin Drum put it, “Goodling is now the latest high-ranking DOJ official to say that, really, she has no idea why those U.S. Attorneys were fired last year, or who made the choices. The list appeared, somehow, but apparently not from any human hand. It’s a miracle!”

Yeah maybe. Or maybe they're bots. How do we know they're not bots? I mean, think about it, Bunky. Here we have this whole Ministry of Justice place full of “people” (yeah, see what I mean?) running around doing things and they have no idea why? They weren't programmed for “why,” that's why. They were just programmed for “do as you are told.”
