Rats leaving the sinking ship USS George Bush the Decider

Will he provide testimony on what he knows about the DOJ politicization? Is anyone left to run the DOJ?
A rogue newly invented Cheney branch of govt. operating in total secrecy and a corrupt, understaffed DOJ who's top dawg is a complete criminal AND will do anything to cover up the crimes of his master, GWBush, who is going to pursue contempt of Congress if they do finally ACT?

Will the last person to leave the Department please remember to turn out the lights.

I'm sure few people are terribly upset to see this parade to the exits. But why can't just one guy/gal grab Milton's Swingline, crack Gonzales with it, and drag him out the door with them?

Which begs the question: If crimes are committed in the Justice Department but no one is left there that did them, are there any crimes at all? (there are forests of trees desperately hoping that they can stop hypothetically falling.)

sorry for the double posts... my browser was acting up >.>

Better than nothing, I suppose, but a shame that Montana still has to put up with him.

(code word = SMILE!)

KY3 Democrat: "What a caper!"

An NPR report earlier today said that Mercer had been told that he would not get a confirmation hearing until the WH and DOJ cough up the emails etc. that have been demanded. His belief was that therefore he'd never get a hearing, i.e., the WH will never give up the goods.

I have my doubts as to whether the Dems have that much discipline, but it would be nice to think so.

It's Friday afternoon. You know what that means: it's time for a senior Justice Department official to resign...

TOUCHE', MON FRER.

Indeed, Abu Garib is a fine example of using the latest interrogation techniques to seek out the secret intents and plans of terrists, so why not be democratic and use these same techniques to find the secret intents and plans of the most secretive and illdisposed maladministration ever to sit in the White house?

It's like 'Algiers'...there's the organization chart, and we eliminate one major DoJ officer after another. In our case, however, the extrajudicial criminality diminishes as the elimination proceeds.... :-)

In 1996, Bill Mercer was student body president at the University of Montana and I was a columnist at the Kaimin, the campus newspaper. Bill was pushing for creation by the student government of what looked from a distance suspiciously like a conservative think tank or PAC. There were some irregularities in the paperwork for that project and I tried to get a copy of a relevant document. The document had apparently been improperly removed from the student government offices and I approached Bill and asked about getting a copy of it. He started walking away from me. I followed him and continued asking. He whirled around, poked a finger toward me and said, as I recall, "You bastard! You're rude. I'm not going to talk to you anymore." The headline of my column the next day was "You Bastard!" Bill's think tank tanked. But it's been comforting in the years since to see that he hasn't lost any of the leadership qualities he developed here in Missoula. And that the Bush administration obviously agreed with me.

Typo in my previous post: Should be 1986 instead of 1996. Who knows where the time goes?

Maybe the Congress could interview the guy before he flees for Montana?

Personally, I'm getting sick of the Joseph Goebels fans in the DOJ. Mercer is one of them in the same spirit of Count Karl...he basically accuses his opponents of the crimes he himself has committed as a way of deflating any opposition to his agendas. When will Congress do something about these Nazi sympathizers?
