Comments on: Bush’s Scandal-Ridden DoJ Nominee Withdraws Over Fear Of Senate Fight http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/22/mercer-resigns/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:04:02 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: mjvpi http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/22/mercer-resigns/comment-page-1/#comment-3880610 mjvpi Sun, 24 Jun 2007 02:11:10 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/06/22/mercer-resigns/#comment-3880610 I wonder if he is the reason that Conrad Burns9(R-Abrahmof) was never pursued. Burns was very cocky during that last election. Burns took more of Jack Abrahmof's money than any other Congressman. If Burns was sure that Mercer wasn't really pursuing the case, that might explain his attitude and Mercer's attempted promotion.

These wingnuts will remain relentless though. They have no honor, no dignity, no morals, and no sense of decency. You can be sure that Bush's next pick will be just as unqualified. He hates competence - it makes everyone too keenly aware of his lack of any. One small victory for sanity. These wingnuts will remain relentless though.

Who's the next? They will attempt to vanishinto thin air, and be "born again" for their next venture into the republican fashion show. I hope the cop is at the door with a set of handcuffs.

Just subpoena him before Congress. It will accomplish the same thing. But, I doubt that he could lose his memory if he was being confirmed while he will most likely lose his memory if he testifies before Congress. These people are all a bunch of lying scum. It's time we clean house. Go 2008! And I hope that the new Democratic President fires every person that has been hired by George Bush. Then listen to the Republics howl.
