you mean bush? what did he do in that whole story? or do you mean this comey guy? he quit ahead of being fired. for a man charged with protecting this country to act so weasly THE DAY of the Madrid bombings- well, I tell you it is shocking.

and the testimony is inconsistant wrt at least 1 thing. he says they renewed the program w/o the AG signature- then later he implies he was able to effect changes that made him happy.

and i thought Schumer's introduction was certainly very senatorial- what a fucking hack. how can you look at that pile of shit as someone you respect?

Come now. You think this is unusual. Why do you think Ashcroft is no longer with us?

For now, I'd be happy with just Gonzales. I wouldn't want to impeach Bush without getting rid of Cheney first.

You seem to have a lot of respect for Bush. You tell me?

I'm just sort of dumbfounded that someone appointed by the Bush administration has integrity.

ETA: I think that he goes into Hank's concerns under the Specter cross.

More gossip:

• Is the Noose Tightening on Gonzales?
  
  Tuesday, May. 15, 2007 By KAREN TUMULTY/WASHINGTON U.S.
  
  Now that the number-two official at the Justice Department has resigned, the question many in Washington are asking is: Will soon-to-be-former Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty be DOJ's fall guy — or its worst nightmare?
  
  As is so often the case when someone gets the ax in Washington, the official explanation for McNulty's departure was personal. In his one-page letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, the deputy AG wrote that he will be leaving in late summer because of the "financial realities" of trying to provide for college-age children on a government salary. McNulty, 49, has worked nearly half his life either on Capitol Hill or in the executive branch.
  
  But no one is taking that to be the real reason. Since McNulty's congressional testimony in February that the White House was involved in the firing of at least one of the nine U.S. attorneys who were forced to resign last year, the tension between his office and Gonzales's has divided and crippled the department. "There's a war going on between the DAG's office and the AG's office," says one senior Justice official."The thing that's 100% clear is that there's really no leadership. Both the DAG and the AG are so compromised, there's no one running the department. There's a lot of antagonism between those two groups. The DAG is throwing [Gonzales and his team] under the bus."

I like that all these Dems are so worried about Ashcroft now.

you think you can impeach for actions at a prior job? can you imagine the shit Clinton pulled on his paper route?

I had no idea that position even existed. I guess we know where Atticus went, now.

I think that it's more shock that someone could be less concerned about the propriety of the unnamed program at issue than Ashcroft was.

So, the appointment of a special prosecutor for Whitewater was improper from the gecko*?

*A little** Not Bob humor.

**Fenwick would like to add that "very little" would be more accurate. I'm humoring the youngster because we're in trial tomorrow. Should be a blast -- my star witnesses are a recovering alcoholic store manager (a nice guy, actually) and a slacker bag boy who acts like he wouldn't know how to use a mop if his life depended on it. On the upside, the plaintiff slipped on Cool Whip, which just sounds silly, and the manager has been dry since he found Jesus, so I have some hope.
