Gonzales to be replaced by Chertoff?

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…

    We’re both stupid, as I agree with one of the dumbest statements that only a lefty can make.

    “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?

I only care about other craphole countries, or treatment of terrorists in bulk. I also would like the media to convict those Marines, as that’s the lefty definition of a just and fair America.
