CNN/NYT: Alberto Gonzales quits

Oh, yes they do.
They only need 40 votes to filibuster a nominee.
But they won't.
My only hope is that they roast Skeletor's nuts over a slow fire in regards Katrina, and in regards to his role as a political hack committee counsel during the Clinton years. We must all presume he's simply going to lie about his plans for the future.

 

Nice summary:

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/benchconference/2007/08/post_48.html?hpid=topnews

"Because we all benefit from a Justice Department that is fair, impartial, nonpartisan and filled with the best and brightest legal professionals the nation has to offer, we all suffer when it falls short of those ideals. The Justice Department under Gonzales was a miserable failure -- it never even came close to those lofty goals -- and now, finally, it is gone. Good riddance to it."

You are right, Fenian. I had 60 stuck in my head, not 40.

Considering how Chertoff also was a member (briefly) of the Clinton administration, he won't be thrown under the bus totally.

 

Politically, I agree with you.
I would like the slow-roast confirmation stategy, though, at least.

 

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

Well, at least he retires as AG with no career kills.

 

Remarkable.

Predictable, batshit crazy and oblivious.

But remarkable nonetheless.

 

Hey, Reno had a scoreboard full. Just saying.
I know, I know, anyone who disagrees with you is "oblivious", blah blah blah.

 

Not sure that was the intent Jimmy. But talking about the "scoreboard" isn't really the be-all, end-all, is it?

 

Don't the nine fired state prosecutors count?

 

Except in Texas, of course.

 

I couldn't help but wonder, as I watched Shrub decry the state of the nation, where a "good man" can have his "good name drug through the mud" for "political purposes," what Max Cleland would have to say about that.

I wonder what John McCain would say, too. Off the record.
