Gonzales to be replaced by Chertoff?

gonzoU.S. News reports, “The buzz among top Bushies is that beleaguered Attorney General Alberto Gonzales finally plans to depart and will be replaced by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Why Chertoff? Officials say he’s got fans on Capitol Hill, is untouched by the Justice prosecutor scandal, and has more experience than Gonzales did, having served as a federal judge and assistant attorney general.”

    So who wants to Homeland Security? Suggestions?


  3. piltdown Says:

    OMG. Replacing the fox guarding the chicken cook with Colonel Sanders.

    Way to go, Georgie!

    The fast track to selling the US out to Israel.


  4. Angry Adam Says:

    Excellent choice.


  5. TripMaster Makarios Says:

    Chertoff will be as good (or even better!), than Gonzales.


  6. Lawrence E. Rafferty Says:

    I am not sure that Bush will get rid of Gonzo. It would be admitting that he screwed up and Georgie isn't about to do that. Plus, the Senate confirmation hearing would be a bit sticky with Chertoff in light of the FEMA mess.


  7. OkieFromMuskogee Says:

    Say it ain't so, Gonzo! Say it ain't so!

    As for Chertoff - is this a promotion or a demotion? And what does this say about Bush's priorities for the nation? Can we really afford not to have Chertoff's Golden Gut on the job at Homeland Security?

    Chertoff appears to have earned status with the White House as a "loyal Bushie," or this chairswitching would be unthinkable.

    So long, Gonzo. You've probably got a lucrative future ahead at the Heritage Foundation, where Wolfowitz and Bolton are warming chairs. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.

    Pray tell, what good did AGAG do?


  20. JG Says:

    I'll tell you why Chertoff.. They want to keep that circle REAL small about who knows what they are doing with the illegal surveillance programs.. This is no surprise at all. I will bet he will make it a recess appointment as well. There is no way Congress would okay Chertoff.

    This is most definitely a cabal, a mafia, a sydicate. They are going to run out of people to shuffle around before too much longer. Maybe Cheney could be Vice President AND Attorney General! Never mind that he doesn't have a law degree. Why should Cheney actually being qualified have anything to do with an appointment. It would make about as much sense as anything else these guys do or try to pull..

    Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Cord?


  34. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    As for Chertoff - is this a promotion or a demotion?

    I would say a opromotion, as he would move from 16th in the line of succession As Secretary of Homeland Security, to 7th as Attorney General.

    Think about that a moment. The man in charge of Homeland Security is 16th in the line of succession to the top job. If he royally screws up and the fifteen people ahead of him (as well as the president) suddenly perish, he becomes president. That seems to me to be a massive conflict of interest on the peoples' part. If it became his turn to be president, he must not have been very good at the job he had. Just saying.


  35. SW Bob Says:

    Looks like 18 more months of musical chairs for bushco.


  36. Dave C Says:

    How bad is Chertoff's memory? He may not be qualified for the job.

    I think Stephen Colbert put it best at the WHPC Dinner:

    "This administration isn't sinking, it's soaring! If anything, this is rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenberg." The president didn't care for that joke. The rest of us enjoyed it immensely.

    Give me that call on the President's line!

    CHENEY (to Chertoff):
    Hello -- Chertoff? Cheney. Where's the President? -- What do you mean, you can't locate him? Chertoff, you know what this means. We're the only ones in town defending Gonzo and if he hangs tomorrow we're washed up! Find the President and when you find him tell him we want your Recess Appointment!... Tell him I elected him and I can have him impeached! Sure, you can do it, Chertoff -- I know you can. I always said you were the greatest lackey in this administration, and now you can prove it. Get going Chertoff! Attaboy!

    Cheney hangs up.

    CHENEY (to picture of Rove, on his desk) The greatest lackey in this administration, my ass! First I gotta tell him what to do. Then, I gotta tell him how to do it -- then I gotta do it for him! Now if you had only been loyal enough to stay on until our work was done...

    "Loving Islam" vs. "Asking directions"

    Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

    I bet Bush would then appoint William Kristol for Homeland Security Secretary! That would make perfect sense.. Oh, yet another recess appointment. The fox protecting the henhouse. He is running out of PNAC'ers to fill all the holes. Yet another guy who still supports Bush and who is wanting to bomb Iran.

    According to Coulter liberals are Godless, which means they wouldn't care about Islam. This is a righty fearfactor card.

    Extremism comes in many forms and people will use any excuse or rational for that. The fact is Muslims believe Jesus [Isa] is in heaven and will come back to defeat the anti-christ. Just as the evangelicals do. Both are Rapture nuts intent on war with evil so good will return.

    They are ALL REAL Americans. That is NOT what defines a REAL American. Trying to say that what religion you practice defines you as an American or a patriotic or not is RIDICULOUS and unConstitutional.
    That is the beauty of this country. Freedom to practice our religion of choice. It has nothing to do with being patriotic, loving this country, caring about what happens to it.. etc..
    Perhaps you don't agree with the Constitution.. Doesn't that then question whther or not you are a REAL American?

    No confusion, Makarena, just wondering why you "honored" TripMaster.


  219. WaltTheMan Says:

    Cleared out temp files and rebooted, results are still the same. I would go t6hrough a cookie study, but the results were identical under two identities.


  220. Egreggious Says:

    We are second-class libtards.



  221. trueblue Says:

    TP,

    WHY is Mr. PEE still, STILL, posting here?

    Ban him, please.
    He is a blight on your site. Name-jacks.

    C'mon - what's wrong with you?


  222. WaltTheMan Says:

    I should have said under each of two identities.


  223. trueblue Says:

    Chertoff is pathetically incompetent.

    Saw that. Wonder if the FBI will investigate his nutty f-in' *ss???


  240. Null and aVoid... Says:

    >That’s bad for the enamel.

    so is the methamphetamine abuse you engage in...
    do you have any sort of life other than being a troll and writing pointless self masterbatory pseudo-esssays about boring greek history?

    that community college philisophy degree your striving so mightily for might just get you promoted to manager at your local mcdonalds, if you work hard..


  241. Makarios Says:

    "philisophy"

    ?

    Is that you, Juan?



  242. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Test


  243. Eargy Earpp Says:

    Why is it always the same cast of characters?

    What nonsense.


  244. Gregor Samsa Says:

    One yes-man makes way to an even bigger yes-man.


  245. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Yeah, things are really going to get done at the DoJ now.

    /sarcasm off


  246. Probus Says:

    Gonzales lied before Congress. Chertoff has been the most incompetent member of Bush's administration. He's inaction during Katrina was shameful. He has used his department to scare the American people needlessly when it suited Bush politically.


  247. RUCerious Says:

    Chertoff will make a command decision as AG to have Ice trucks sitting in Florida until he can prosecute someone in Louisiana.


  248. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Is there even a snowball's chance in Hell that Bush will recess-appoint Patrick Fitzgerald as Attorney General? Can I have just a little time to fantasize about that before his "stellar choice" (Robert Bork) gets announced?


  249. KG Prophet Says:

    He's also an excellant driver.


  250. liz Says:

    Let's dissolve Homeland Security while we are at this....... we are not nazi's and don't have a homeland. For over two hundred years, America was the title of the dirt between the shores of this country. It is not a homeland any more than Gonzo is a great AG.
    Gonzo must go because he is lawless.....
    Chertoff shouldn't be in government anyway due to his dual citizenship. Does anyone think an American would be appointed to run security for another country>"?? Nope.
    Bush is in trouble with the people who probably didn't elect him....


  251. Doc Rock Says:

    If he takes it, I'll bet Chertoff regrets it!

    I do wonder though if his gonads will ever descend?


  252. YouCantHandleDaTruth Says:

    Chertoff was a federal judge?!?!?!?!?


  253. O. Bigfoot Says:

    "I don’t think I am comfortable with somebody being 7th in line for the Presidency of this country who has a dual citizenship with US and Israel.

    Comment by JG — August 25, 2007 @ 6:57 pm"

    Why not? Are you anti-semite? Or just generally racist?

    How do you feel about millions of illegals from Mexico being in the United States with no citizenship whatsoever?


  254. thoughtcriminal Says:

    The SAME names keep coming up, again and again...

    Has a bloodless coup already gone down?!

    Some highlights of Chertoff's career...

    In 1983 Chertoff was hired as a prosecutor by Rudolph Giuliani.

    In 1990 Chertoff was appointed by Bu$h I as United States Attorney for NY.

    Chertoff was a special counsel for the Senate Whitewater Committee studying allegations against the Clintons.

    Co-author of the USA PATRIOT Act, signed into law October 26, 2001. As head of the Justice Department's criminal division, he advised the Central Intelligence Agency on the outer limits of legality in coercive interrogation sessions.

    2001 to 2003, he headed the criminal division of the Department of Justice where he came under fire as one of the chief architects of the Bush Administration's legal strategies in the War on Terror, particularly regarding the detainment of thousands of Middle Eastern immigrants.

    Chertoff managed the FEMA response to Hurricane Katrina.

    Now they want to put him in charge of the entire judicial branch of your government, and do it behind your backs!

    HAHAHAHA Nice country you repugs are building! Enjoy it now, it's a f*cking house of cards.


  255. RUCerious Says:

    My advice to Congress, ~ don't adjourn for rest iof the entire duration of the Bushit administration.


  256. theswan Says:

    The facists getting their house in order to conquer the free world.


  257. williamf Says:

    I realize Chertoff appears to be an experienced government lawyer but in the position of AG he would have to manage something again. It's not about the courtroom in that job but running things! I can't help but remember the scenes in New Orleans and trying to get in touch with the fact that my government, other than General Honore' (sp) and those beautiful coast guard hellicopters were busting their ass with absolutely no support from Chertoff's agency. Groundhog day folks, groundhog day.


  258. Jeremiah Says:

    Harriet Miers must be dead or something. She would have been perfect for this. Seriously though, Chertoff was clueless during Katrina. He is not fit for the AG job.


  259. DM Says:

    What confirmation hearing?

    Aren't they in recess?
