Patrick Fitzgerald for Attorney General.

I bet at this point, Bush is rightfully afraid that such a flagrant use of a signing statement to go against Congress and popular sentiment, would trigger a Constitutional challenge to the validity of all his signing statements.

...than being called Turd Blossom daily by the Commander-in-Chief?

Karl Rove deserves to be insulted repeatedly.

would be raising the bar for this administration.

Welcome to the OSC, bitch!

If we can't impeach Bush (and Cheney) now for all their crimes, it sets a dangerously high bar for removing any future criminal president. Without impeaching Bush now, would we be able to impeach the next president who only lies to start a war but doesn't stack the US Attorneys? What if he only hires incompetent cronies but doesn't use unconstitutional signing statements - could we impeach then? Do we want a country where you would have to be a worse president than Bush to actually be held accountable?

of this administration has made me extremely untrusting of anything they say. This "Gang of 11" just seems to be buying Bush more time until September. Sounds like more Rovian spin to me.

must be to screw everything up so royally that the next president has to spend all of his/her time fixing the damage. After dealing with a disastrous war in Iraq, a lousy environmental policy, a corrupt Justice Department, horrible foreign relations and zero respect for the White House, the next president will be lucky to get anything done.

Has anyone interviewed Ashcroft (or his wife) about this yet? I'd be curious to hear his and her take on this.

To be fair to poor Monica, she only went to Regent University, not a real law school.

Dubya is a Connecticut cowboy. A Yankee. A carpetbagger raised in the finest schools. All hat, no cattle.

His Dumb Hick Act is just that - an act.

The hick part, I mean. The dumb part is genuine. Possibly inbred.

Something about rats and a sinking ship...

I never miss a chance to see Fishbone live. I've seen them about 30 times and they never disappoint.

Not to pile on, but I think you mean Emily Litella.
