Salvaging the Bush Presidency

For a look back, here is the thread on the issue that eventually caused Gonzales to resign.

Mr44 and I sure got into a big spat in the first few pages.

 

Time will tell. I don't think the full extent of all possible wrongdoing will become quite clear until after Dubya is out of the White House. If nothing else, because to truly punish any wrong doing, convictions will have to come after 1/9/09.

 

On the local radio some were suggesting Orrin Hatch, former chairman of the Judiciary Committee would sail through the confirmation hearings and might take the job out of a sense of personal duty even if he didn't want it. Actually that would be good news for me because then maybe I could try and work for whoever replaces him. I thought about trying to intern for Hatch but then I remembered I didn't vote for him in the past election.

 

The New York Times is running a fascinating preview of Jack L. Goldsmith's upcoming book, "The Terror Presidency". As one of the ultimate insiders during the early part of the Bush presidency, his insider's view will almost certainly be fascinating.

Sid Blumenthal is reporting that Bush ignored a 2002 CIA briefing which concluded (correctly) that Iraq had no WMDs.

Can we put this piece of **** in prison yet? Please?

 

If I had to absolutely pick, Cheney will be the one who does the jail time if anyone does. I believe he's done more to negatively impact his own country then even Bin Laden. Bush is just the front man.

 

He's a front man, kind of like a crash dummy; put him in the front of the car then video tape a head-on collision, view back in slow-motion. George W. Crash Dummy.....
