Probably the political equivalent of john Dilinger...

[sendero]

14. He'll have to be confirmed...

... all we can hope for is that the Dem leadership has learned its lesson. There is NO NEED to compromise on this, and the Dems should ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to confirm another rubber stamper.

[H2O Man]

[Holly_Hobby]

16. We need 10 threads announcing this! n/t

[H2O Man]

Could the more experienced and much cleaner Michael Chertoff, current head of Homeland Security replace beleaguered Alberto Gonzales?

That's what US News and World Report is suggesting in their Washington Whispers section,

'Officials say he's got fans on Capitol Hill, is untouched by the Justice prosecutor scandal, and has more experience than Gonzales did, having served as a federal judge and assistant attorney general."

[Rageneau]

32. Chertoff did such a good job at FEMA, he's a natural for Bush's AG.

He's certain to uphold the high standards of indifferent incompetence set by this President.

[MotorCityMan]

for us cuberats...

[Holly_Hobby]

[Pab Sungenis]

8. Odd

This is the kind of thing they would have buried in the Friday news dump.

Unless....

Is the Senate still in recess?

[Holly_Hobby]

12. Agreed and yes n/t

[Pab Sungenis]

29. So...

It's being announced this morning so that Bush can just throw whoever he wants into the job before Reid can get the Senate back to Washington.

[malaise]

18. He did resign on Friday n/t

[bdamomma]

13. OMG, unbelieveable
