Sampson wasn't fired because he did something wrong

He was released because he failed to think of a proper political response.... uh wait a minute...

Do-Over!:

A revised statement drops the idea that DoJ officials didn't "deem" the White House role "important," and whereas before Sampson was regretting his inability to concoct an "effective politcal response" to the charges of impropriety, the word "political" has disappeared. After all, it's politics that got the DoJ into this mess.

As TPM Reader HR puts it: "Did someone go over his original release with a sharp blue pencil?"

Doesn't matter what you were caught doing, it's how you word it to the media. Like: Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?

Update: Of course, as Bryan points out, Sampson wasn't really fired! Kinda like Rove or Rumsfeld, they just remove the name tag on the door, that's all, or move them down the hall.

I still think it means they are all undead. They keep on popping back up when we think they're finished!
