Remember the gaps in the Watergate tapes? This time it's being called the "Document Gap"
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A 16-day gap in e-mail records between the Justice Department and the White House concerning the firing of U.S. attorneys last year has attracted the attention of congressional investigators.

In an investigation into whether seven U.S. attorneys were fired for political rather than professional reasons, the Justice Department on Monday handed over 3,000 pages of documents to the House and Senate Judiciary committees.

But the documents included no correspondence about the firings in the critical time period between November 15, 2006, and December 2, 2006, right before the attorneys were asked for their resignations

Unbelievable...how could they possibly think they could get away with this with nobody noticing?

1. The news said they turned over the documents w/o mention of this.
It took another day for this to come to light. Meanwhile, the initial impression was galvinized--Bush cooperated with unprecedented collaboration.

One negative comment I heard on NPR last night was "How much money has the government budgeted for white-out?" There is also a tremendous amount of redaction.

2. To my mind that's where the comparison ends...

Bush is 100x worse than Nixon.
