The one sin - failure to spin!

Well it appears there is one thing that can get you into trouble in the Bush administration. No, it's not breaking the law, it's not lying - as it turns out it's an inability or failure to spin. Via TPM Muckraker that's exactly what Kyle Sampson's attorney said is why his client resigned.

"Kyle did not resign because he had misled anyone at the Justice Department or withheld information concerning the replacement of the U.S. Attorneys. He resigned because, as Chief of Staff, he felt he had let the Attorney General down in failing to appreciate the need for and organize a more effective political response to the unfounded accusations of impropriety in the replacement process.

So the only thing Mr Samson did that was wrong was fail to cover his tracks and spin lies into fiction. That pretty well sums up the Bush/Cheney cabal.
