Bye Bye Gonzales, Hello Hack

McClatchy has this snippet on possible replacements for A-Gone:

Possible replacements for Gonzales include Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Security and Exchange Commission chairman Chris Cox, White House anti-terrorism adviser Fran Townsend, former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and former solicitor general Theodore B. Olson.

So the choices are:

1. The King of the Hurricane Katrina Failure (Chertoff);

2. The Orange County, Corporate Bagholder Extraordinaire (Cox);

3. The Bush Loyalista Extrema (Townsend);

4. The Man Who Rendered Innocent Canadian Mahar Arar to Syria to be Tortured (Thompson); or

5. The King of the Nineties Clinton Smearers & the Man Who Helped Bush Steal the 2000 Election (Olson).

Well, what should a liberal expect? That Bush would nominate a principled person to be America’s Attorney General. Not a chance. He needs someone to tamp investigations about the corrupt practices of the Republicans not one who will follow the evidence of corruption to whomever it leads.
