Poor, poor Gonzales
Republicans, many of whom seem too dense to comprehend the damage he's inflicting on the Justice Department, express sympathy for the attorney general's ordeal.
By Joe Conason [2007-05-11]

  • Grow Up Joey

    I see the word incompetent being thrown around a lot. Was Janet Reno’s approval of the raid on David Koresh’s compound, which resulted in the incineration of children, incompetent?

    I know we could find many more examples of incompetent leadership, across all parties and levels of government.

    The point is, the finger pointing at Gonzalez, Reno, or doesn’t solve anything. It’s just another weekly vent.

    The Gonzalez “scandal” revolves around the reasons for firing political appointees. Gee, who would have thought that politics may play a role in determining who is, or who is not, a political appointee?

    If you don’t like the process, one which both sides take advantage of, come up with a new one.

    Let’s have prosecutors who understand existing laws, and prosecute those who break them, without regard for the consequences.

    Let’s have judges who understand existing laws, and make judgments based on them.

    That sounds very Republican to me. A judiciary made up of strict constitutionalists.

    I read Salon to try and understand opposing points of view, to find alternative solutions to the problems we face.

    All I hear is name calling, naa-naa-naa-naa boo-boo stuff. No solutions.

    Grow up Joey.
