Principle trumps power
Does anyone support Gonzales staying as Attorney General? Why would President Bush appoint Gonzales as AG knowing his past ethical problems?
USA TODAY-Three years ago, an attorney general, his deputy, the FBI director and others put their jobs on the line to block a White House wiretapping plan. The story, revealed Tuesday, speaks worlds about the importance of upholding principle under pressure — and about the current attorney general’s failure to do just that.
James Comey: “I thought I just witnessed an effort to take advantage of a very sick man, who did not have the powers of the attorney general,” the former deputy AG says
James Comey testimony should be seen no matter what party you are in!

There used to be a rule in business about hiring.
Not a good rule. Nor a formal one.
Never hire anyone that couldn’t help the boss hold on.

Funny I was always taught that you’re always hiring your potential successor.

In answer to your question…
CAN HIS ASS!!!!
But the reason these neocons have such staying power is Georgie has a tight circle of friends who are playing a special game AGAINST THIS NATION!! And I think the avid Bush supporters are in some sort of terrified trance. It’s the only possible explanation I can think of.

I think I saw this movie. Wasn’t John Ashcroft being played by James Earl Jones and Comey by Harrison Ford? And wasn’t everyone else trying to cover their tails to stay out of jail? This is life imitating art.
