BUSH DIDN'T PLACE AN AD IN THE CLASSIFIEDS REQUESTING A NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL... THAT'S NOT HIS JOB

>


Like a child who recently burned his hand on a hot stove, Bush knows better; he learned his lesson when he tried sticking his faithful dog Barney Harriet Miers in as a Supreme Court Justice. That's Federalist Society territory and they tore him to pieces and left him looking like an impotent imbecile. The Federalist Society will decide who he nominates as the next Attorney General. Support for the current mess of an A.G. has disappeared completely as the details of his lies and connivance with Rove have come dripping, dripping, dripping out of the Regime's clogged, constipated sewer system.

With the exception of a tiny handful of Regime dead-enders in the Senate like Kyl, Cornyn and some of the other fanatics who voted against Feinstein's bill to return constitutional governance to the DoJ-- something even Bush, Rove and Gonzales had agreed to get pass-- Gonzales no longer has any support among Capitol Hill Republicans. It's all over but the Congressional Medal of Freedom and the tears.

Tonight Regime operative are scurrying hither and thither looking for a replacement before someone from another faction of far right loons finds one. After what the Regime has inflicted on this country in the last 6 years only God can spare us from the likes of a Ted Olson or, worse, a Larry Silberman. Other names being bandied around right-wing circles tonight are the walking joke that is Michael Chertoff, Fred or Larry Thompson, Joe Lieberwhore, Chris Cox, George Terwilliger and Frances Townsend, a White House hack.

Rove is hoping to cut an unlikely deal with Senate Democrats to head off the shocking revelations of White House involvement and cover-up that will come out of a full-scale investigation in return for a quick departure for Gonzales and the nomination of a mainstream conservative instead of a far right extremist. If, as DWT has long asserted, that part of this mass firing of prosecutors, was related, not just to the massive fraud perpetrated by Jerry Lewis and other bribe-taking Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee, but also to the presidential pardon sold by Bush via Cunningham to Thomas Kontogiannis, it would be very difficult even for Democratic leaders who are loathe to start impeachment hearings to sit on their hands.

A brilliant friend of mine framed the first question Senator Feingold should ask at the confirmation hearing for whomever the Federalist Society decides Bush will nominate: "If you are confirmed for this position, will you promise to appoint an independent special prosecutor to investigate whether any crimes were commited in connection with the firings of the eight U.S. attorneys on Decmeber 7, 2006?"

Obviously any candidate who answers "no"-- or, more likely, refuses to give a straight-forward answer-- should be automatically automatically disqualified.
