good thinking...sounds like you have good priorities...

anymore I keep thinking that I have taken a wrong turn in here...more and more behavior is becoming behavior that I used to think was lib reserved, except the mantra has become: I’m a conservative and you are not.
Just would love to see what the qualifications are and the facts are ..not innuendo and insult.

Bush said Gonzales, his loyal colleague from Texas who was his White House counsel before heading to Justice, had worked tirelessly to keep the nation safe.

Not from illegal alien entry into the US, not from their continued presence, not by streamlining attempts to discover them and deport them, and not by enforcing Laws on the books.

If this is Bush’s notion of “keeping the nation safe”, then his appointment of another AG makes me just a bit nervous, since Gonzo spent so much time shirking Law enforcement duties and negotiating with foreign entities in turd world nations to our south to erode the financial, physical, and demographic integrity of our Nation.

Question: What law requires Bush to fill the AG position?

Why not leave the position vacant, let the current Assistant AG run things and avoid the Sinate hearings crapola!

Boosh is turning over power to the New york city liberals a year and a half before he has to. He has sold out the conservatives again.

“Do you know this to be true, or is it something someone reported as ‘possible’? Everyone has been assuming, or hoping it was Ted Olson, but I never heard the President say one way or the other.”

No, I don’t know it to be true, which is why I said “reportably” and “If that’s true.”

Just as obviously, the President couldn’t be expected to name someone he didn’t intend to nominate, so, as with all nominations, one has to rely on the White House rumor mill as repeated by the press.

“Lets be honest with the dems he doesnt stand a chance and when the spineless repubs were in the majority they were scared of the dems too”

You sure have me there, most of the Republicans are pretty spineless.

Now Rush Limbaugh will be in the unenviable position of promoting this flaming liberal judge from NYC to the conservative base. Limbaugh carries Bush’s water. He will have to explain to the conservatives what a highly intelligent move this is by bush and that bush outsmarted the liberals by out liberaling the liberals before the conservatives have a chance to complain.

Also the leper-CON Bill O’Reilly will shut everybody up that even tries to complain.

Hannity will of course lap up everything Bush says and say how smart Bush is and how we don't have time to argue over these small matters.

This is NOT good, what with Norman Hsu and scandels breathing down teh DNC necks.

We needed a tough , no nonsense man like Ted Olsen.

Instead we get a Mr. In Between.

More RINOvirus to get rid of.

Bush Settles on Mukasey to Replace Gonzales

How can the WaPo and others write a headline based on a "source" without some reference to the vagueness of it? This headline implies that Bush has made an announcement or sent out a press release.

I always think of a source-close-to-the-white-house as someone from the paper walking down Pennsylvania Ave by the White House. The MSM makes up a story and then debates it with other media outlets.

He’s already got Schumer’s seal of approval, so it’s a done deal. Bush really has lost his political cajones. He should have sent Ted Olsen up to the Senate and dared the ‘Rats to shoot him down.

BTW a bunch of FReepers are slamming this poor guy and, by extent the PResident, I guess ol’ ROnnie is just a liberal RINO, huh?

Then again, he did appoint that “filthy Mooslimb” Khalizad.

Dang RINOS!!!

I don’t know for sure, but I think this might be the judge that kept ruling against the White House in the Padilla case. I will have to look and see if I can find anything. If it is the same judge, then you are right.

Much ado about nothing. All Bush wants to do in his final year is to throw the borders open to the NWO. The AG appointment in year eight is meaningless.

Gonzales was a political hack, as are most AG’s.
