that it makes "W" sound like a pimp and they are just "servicing" him?

They repeat this line over, and over, and over again, ad nauseam.

I know what this means, I'm asking why "this" administration is always using this term. Is it because they are having to defend "so many" of Bush's appointees?

Great question.
It sounds obscene, and you can be sure that if a Democratic President's administration said it as often as the Bushies do the media would be all over it.

That is what it has always been referred to, since time began. There are people who are civil servants and there are political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the politician that appointed them. Civil Servants can only be fired for cause. Political appointees can be fired at the whim of the person who appointed them.
The same applies at state and local governments. I know this may be a little confusing after the Clinton Administration but let us try to stay out of the gutter.

Dear Emma:
You will be amazed to learn, perhaps, that part of the eternal struggle of United States citizens is balancing the powers of the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court, with their ultimate masters, the citizens of the United States of America.
Part of the balancing gives the President power to appoint key members of the executive branch.
Who and how should they serve or service?

Um...that's traditional terminology. It's not something new with this administration. That is the legal term for the terms of service. Get your mind out of the gutter.

You figured out that Bush is ufcking everyone, that's a start, it's pretty obnoxious that he brags about it. They are called Red States for a reason. They are bleeding.

That's Bush's MANDATE, They are servicing him. And, they suck up to him. They've whored themselves to him. And, if they step out of line no matter how arbitrary that line is, they are fired.

It means that they do not have a contract, that their employment can end at anytime, for any reason.
