Calling the statment that the terminations were for performance, a lie, when those terminated had good performance reviews - is a stretch. In high level positions performance is not simply doing a good job, it is also a function of doing what the boss wants the way the boss wants it done. Also, activities, results, and the right results, are very different. I am sure the people terminated were active and got results. My gut tells me that when Gonzales testifies he is not going to be able to clearly articulate the differences and why they are important, and Democrats are going to pretend that they are clueless on this point.

See, that doesn't work with Peter Fitzgerald. He's pretty much acknowledged as the most effective US Attorney in the country, yet he received the middle of the 3 possible evaluations. This is a guy that's gone after corruption, the Mob and some really tough cases in an area legendary for its problems. He's even played well with others (Daley), but he hasn't gone after Blagoevich the way that Bush wanted, so he got a poor evaluation. His job is NOT to be Bush's political hatchman, which is the description above.
