Sen. Kyl ‘disturbed’ over U.S. attorney firing.»

Documents released Wednesday by the House Judiciary Committee show that Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) “was upset with Bush administration officials” over the forced resignation of U.S. attorney Paul Charlton, but the Justice Department quickly hushed his dissent. “I understand that Kyl is significantly disturbed over the Charlton issue,” Rebecca Seidel, a deputy assistant attorney general, wrote in an e-mail. “I am hoping that Kyl would not bring it up in an open hearing.”

    Kyl must have been thinking about launching a fishng expedition, eh, Mr. Pee?


  2. The Republic of Stupidity Says:

    That’s a “partisan fish hunt”, mikey r.


  3. upside00 Says:

    GEE!!! Is this the same Sen. Kyl who voted AGAINST the ethics law? Maybe someone is up for re-election and hopes this will overshadow that little “nay” vote on such a trivial issue as Ethics.

    Who’da thunk?


  4. Justice Says:

    Kyl was the one that put the secret hold on the Open Govt. Act the dirty rotten worm.

    A partisan birdwatching adventure!

  6. hazmaq Says:

    Up here in my District 1 we’ve watched in shock as our Rick Renzi, (R$) #13 on CREW’s list of most corrupt politicians since his very first election, continues to repeat the same corrupt practices election after election right under the braindead FEC’s nose.

    Kyl, almost defeated in the last election kept his silence to play the good little Republican and keep campaign dollars and support flowing in as well as to protect Renzi’s seat.

    I predict all all this will severely impact McCains re-election chances in 08.

    Az may be close to getting it’s first Democratic Senator, contingent on the DCCC staying out and Gov. Dean starts now to finds us the right candidate.


  7. Bill in AZ Says:

    I have a sneaking suspicion that Kyl will somehow get over being upset ……


  8. Bill in AZ Says:

    I have a sneaking suspicion that Kyl will find a way to put this attorney “business” behind him ….. he is just that kind of a guy


  9. Gorgias Says:

    Kyl must have been thinking about launching a fishng expedition

    No. He’s just doing the bidding of his Demlib masters.


  10. Candyce Says:

    Charlton said that he told Arizona GOP Sen. Jon Kyl, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, of the call (requesting his resignation) and that Kyl agreed to speak to officials at the department on his behalf.

    “Senator Kyl informed me that after his conversation with the Department of Justice that the department agreed they would reconsider their asking me to resign,” Charlton said.


  11. JPark Says:

    Gorgias, are you retarded? Kyl is one of the most conservative members of the Senate. Der.


  12. RUCerious Says:

    Kyl would launch a fishing expedition in the middle of the AZ desert.
    Look, no fish, case closed!


  13. RUCerious Says:

    Apparently Pee doesn’t know Kyl is a NeoColon first class.


  14. old hack Says:

    oh gimme a break. he’s just going with the bandwagon.

    one by one. wish they’d quit playing games so we can impeach him and then go after chaney


  15. ForTruth Says:

    Senator Kyl is the biggest piece of crap ever.


  16. Retrogrouch Says:

    “You ain’t a nuthin but a lap dog, lyin’ all the time….”

    Nice try Kyl. Apparently you weren’t disturbed enough to break the bond with the Pubes. As always, Kyl makes McCain look sane. Not easy. But then again, this state elected a second-rate sportscaster to the House. I guess Earl Scheib was busy.


  17. ForTruth Says:

    Earl Sheib, LOL.

    Glad to see JD Heyworth go too.


  18. ForTruth Says:

    I think Kyl found the AZ voters upset with him. Just sayin.


  19. Retrogrouch Says:

    Or dead. Oops. Apologies to Mr. Scheib.

    mr. p/gorgias has the same problem that Faux NoNooz has; the keep mixing up Mark Foley as a Dem, Specter as a Dem, and now Kyl as a Dem.

    Guess they just want them to all just go away so they don’t have to deal with reality!


  25. Piper Says:

    There it is, a repub senator is “upset” over the firings, more evidence that everyone in the Bush administration needs to be put before a firing squad.

    Meanwhile the liberal asshats like jpark will spend inordinate amounts of their plentiful free time (its not like they work) creating outrageous conspiracy theories and generally frothing at the mouth about this.

    The last words of Socrates: “Polus, you owe a cock to Asclepius. Please, don’t forget to pay the debt.”

    And Polus has been paying that debt ever since.

    PiPPy, Anaxagoras says to knock this sh!t off. He understands that you’re bitter about the leaky valve on your pneumatic Sappho, but he wants you to remember that you are his eromenos and that even rubber girls are a violation of your love.

    The gentle hissing you hear isn’t a leaky valve, it’s the sound of your tiny brain shrinking into a tiny raisin of protoplasm.

    Heh. I did that when I WAS a 13 year old girl, and it drove me apeshit then!

    Yeah, but, did you see the original John Waters film?

    It’s just weird. Indie film, Broadway musical, Hollywood film with, er, John Travolta.

    It is too twisted for me.


  57. Zooey Says:

    gummitch,

    No, I didn’t see the original. Waters is a bit twisted (I like your word).

    John Travolta in a fat suit and drag as the mom, was great. :D

    You didn’t happen to catch that rumor going around that Mr P used to be a fluffler on the Teletubies show, did you? It’s been at least 3 or 4 days since it came up and Mr P has never refuted it, so I’m beginning to think it must be true.

    Since Mr P never refuted it, it HAS to be true. Who was the wingnut religious figure who thought Winky Tink was gay? Didn’t he say the Teletubbies s/b hung? Sorry, I meant hanged… they s/b hanged.

  87. Gregor Samsa Says:

    It’s really funny how Mr. P/Primus/Gorgias/Polus fancies himself a deep thinker, and creates all these sock puppets named after Greek or Roman philosophers but then has nothing of value to say.

    Unless, that is, you consider pearls such as “Saudis aren’t Muslims” or “TRoS you are a libtroll” to be brainy, praise-worthy comments.

    No wonder he worships at the feet of the Bush altar. Sadly, it’s probably genetic and incurable.


  88. gus smith Says:

    I watch your Republican games, Sen. Kyl, and you will never get my vote. AZ isn’t so right-leaning any more, in case you have not been paying attention.


  89. Gregor Samsa Says:

    On topic,

    “I am hoping that Kyl would not bring it up in an open hearing.”

    This is the typical modus operandi in this administration: No interest for the rule of law, but a lot of concern for how things might appear. They lie to get their way, and then they lie to hide the previous lies.

    The fact that Bush officials hoped Sen Kyl would not voice his concerns publicly, confirms they knew the firings were not kosher. They knew it, the White House knew it, and yet the Bush administration decided to proceed with the dismissals anyway, hoping nobody would be looking.

All it would take would be 10 Republican patriots to impeach, but there isn’t a single patriot among them. They should learn to goosestep and salute in the straigharm style, as they take this country down.

    Comment by Wilco

    I’ve been watching the mess on cspan and trying to make sense of it.

    It appears to be a case of GOP not getting their way and now throwing a hissy fit over a misunderstanding of how the vote was counted on the Agriculture Bill.


  151. I Heart Alito Says:

    #145 - what are conservatives losing? We still have the White House and once your foolish party nominates Hillary, we have at least a 50/50 chance of keeping it…. We have the Supreme Court - or at least according to Pat Leahy? What do you have - Congress - they don’t even want to impeach.

    The GOP still has all the advantages it needs to win the war, continue tax cuts and pack the Supreme Court with radical right-wing ideologues. Democrats are spineless cowards and will never take us on when it matters.


  152. Revisionist History Says:

    Or the Democrats are in bed with the Republicans.


  153. Wilco Says:

    Reps walked out over a disputed House vote, but only after a re-vote was offered. HARUMPH HARUMPH HARUMPH!
    No lib sites seem to have anything on it, nor does at least CNN among news sites.


  154. Wilco Says:

    Thanks, Candyce
    The substance of the motion to recommit was to ban federal funds under the Ag Bill from going to wages or housing for illegal immigrants.
    Was the Ag Bill designed for such funding? That would seem odd and unfortunate, but again I don’t have details.


  155. r Says:

    Yes, Edwards has been photographed holding hands with the enemy-oops! That was Bush! Without your neocon traitors, we’d still have the strongest, most-respected country on earth, rather than the weak, incompetent, can’t-win-a-war against cameldrivers Bush crime regime. As wimpy as the Dems are, it’s the Republicans who refuse to enlist to support with their bodies what their mouths are behind, the usual ratwing cowardice. A Democrat took care of Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo in less time than you spineless, fat, ignorant, America-hating Repigs have taken to lose three wars, destroy the great economy Clinton handed you, and make America the laughingstock of the world. Jamaica could invade us now, and win if we depended on repukes to fight. Chickenhawks to the last, the “conservatives” that march in lockstep over the cliff the Chimperor is leading you to. Except for the ones who are busy screwing young pages, like Foley and Hastert. They’re the true Republican party. Bush is just a gay traitor.

    All the left does is scream “WHAT ABOUT OBL” as if there arent other terrorists out there who are just as dangerous. You ignore them while castigating Bush for not having OBL’s(D-SA) body layed out on the White House lawn. Just as you ignored OBL(D-SA) when he was busy attacking us during the 90’s.


  169. ronjazz Says:

    I say let all the illegals come here that want to, since the repigs will never lift a finger to defend the USA. Send the repukes to Mexico to do the jobs the Mexicans won’t, it’s really all they’re good for. 70% of America wants the end of the Republican party. real patriots would leave that party in droves, but you can’t be a real patriot and republican at the same time.

  171. King MOAB the 1st Says:

    Hate to tell you this, manjizz, but FDR didnt win WWII alone, unless you choose to believe that 20 million dead Russians are an historical sidenote.

    FDR also signed-off on such strategies as firebombing German and Japanese cities as well as the development of the atom bomb, a device which his democrat successor actually used.

    I see you also fail to recognize that FDR didnt enter the war against the axis until Pearl Harbor occurred, two years after Hitler began to storm through europe. Meanwhile the British were fighting for their lives and barely escaped destruction in 1940.

    Please also note that there are some embarrassing photos of FDR sitting with Stalin (you remember, a murderous dictator) at Yalta; all smiles and chumminess and solidarity.

    If youre going to make historical comparisons, please get your shit straight before opening your pie-hole.

    So should I expect that you advocate the use of carpet-bombing and nuclear weapons against the “camel drivers” just as FDR did to win against the axis?

All they have done for decades is kill people and steal their money. I will have nothing to do with anybody that votes Republican since 2000, as I really hate traitors. It’s still a mystery as to how people can vote against their own self-interest, and against their own Constitution, but stupidity is a long-established conservative trait. We have to clean them out, as well as the centrist Dems that are enabling the repuke treason. This country works very well witha nice balance of capitalism and benign socialism.

    Trust me, I love a good round of Whack-A-Troll as much as anyone. It’s just that you really can’t refute an irrational position.

    There used to be a guy in SF that would take a can of shaving cream and some little flags on toothpicks w/ him when he went jogging mornings. Whenever he came upon a pile of dog poop on the sidewalk, he’d spray a little shaving creme on it then stick a flag into it, so people wouldn’t step in it by accident.

    That’s what you need to do w/ the really crazy troll comments. Don’t address the troll directly. Trolls are like vampires. They can only come in, so to speak, if you address them directly. Just put up a little sign that says, “Warning, crazy ass comment. Ignore this troll.”

    It really works. The trolls’ heads start exploding when you nail ‘em like that.

    Save your ammo for the ones that actually try to present “facts” in their arguments. They make ‘em up alot of the time, and quotes too. You catch a troll in a false fact, like Li’l Pippy Trollstockings trying to claim Saudis aren’t Moslems, you’re free to ream them out nine ways to Sunday. Pippy’s never going to hear the end of that Saudis comment. I’m chuckling right now just thinking about it.

    It’s like judo. Use your leverage where you’ve got it. If a troll tricks you into arguing against an irrational position, you CAN’T really win.
