June 4, 2007 issue - The United States Department of Justice has not always been above politics. John F. Kennedy, after all, appointed his brother and consigliere Robert to be attorney general. But the Justice Department is supposed to stand for the rule of law—to be the enforcer of the laws of the United States, not the place presidents go to get around the law........

1. Oh, now WAIT A MINUTE.

I may be the only remaining non-fan of Bobby Kennedy but do these overpaid twits have the flaming brass balls to equate Gonzales with Kennedy????????? Please tell me the number of politically-motivated prosecutions during Bobby's tenure? How about his record of vote suppression? Did he fire a bunch of USAs hired by his brother?

Or is it not that Kennedy is to be tarnished, but Gonzales burnished to a glowing gold by the comparison?

2. I warned you with the "Newsweek" alert! We needed someone else to rant about

and you found it. Do they have the bible of freeper talking points on every desk?

I'm reminded of the Chicago "rumor" everytime election fraud is brought up.
