Exactly. The president is sworn to uphold the law, and it would be bad for the president to use the majesty of the office to evade the law.
The Snow comment has no applicability to the US Attorney "scandal" because there is no allegation of broken laws.
So it is impossible for Bush to be using the majesty of the office to evade the law in this matter.
He shouldn't use the office to try to cover up crimes or evade the criminal process. In this instance, there is NO ALLEGATION OF A CRIME BEING COMMITTED. That's not so hard to understand, is it?
Look, I think Bush is a total moron and the worst president of our lifetime. Clearly, it would be best if the election were this year instead of next, so he would be gone and we start to move on (to whereever it is we will be moving on to).
But this manufactured "scandal" stuff in anticipation of the '08 elections is silly, disingenuous, and makes people lose credibility (like to the millions blindly perpetuating the above post on every Internet board in cyberspace). There are so many other things to paste Bush with, it's probably doing him a favor to divert attention from real issues, to these goofy things.
