Not even close.

For The Children (politics)

The phrase "for the children", or similar phrases such as "think of the children," is an appeal to emotion and can be used to support an irrelevant conclusion (both logical fallacies) when used in an argument.

The phrase "Won't somebody please think of the children?" is a running gag on The Simpsons.

When asked if he will resign, in his very first sentence, Gonzalez says he won't resign "for the kids". Made me laugh in traffic when I heard the clip on the radio.

Dammit. I want him to resign. Today. Specifically, at 11am. Because if he does, I could win a year's supply of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Damn you, Gonzo! Resign!

I'm glad to see that somebody is finally thinking of the children.

Ok, I keep seeing this on various blogs. What, exactly, is the origin of "teh"?

 

[Unabogie]

Found it.

Thanks for noticing.

This thread is (my fault) apparently way too obscure. I hate when that happens.

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals.

The Nov. 27 meeting, in which the attorney general and at least five top Justice Department officials participated, focused on a five-step plan for carrying out the firings of the prosecutors, Justice Department officials said late Friday.

Compared to the rest of the 'administration', I just don't think he is a good enough liar for them to want to keep him around. They will weigh the damage he might do 'outside' compared to what he will continue to do 'inside' and cut him loose like the rest.

Maybe we will be lucky and he will compare himself to Jonah.
Call it a time-stamped prediction.
