Elena Kagan Is Not Harriet Miers

Politics

This is one comparison I am really getting tired of: The Obama Administration needs to recall that George W. Bush’s first nominee, Harriet Miers, was withdrawn after twenty-three days under not dissimilar circumstances: insufficient evidence in the nominee’s record to encourage his political base to become enthused about the nominee. First off, John Roberts was […]

When You Have Nothing

Misc

Conservatives are out with their talking points on Sonia Sotomayor and they are priceless. I guess they couldn’t find anything to go after her on, so they decided they would question her intellect. So they want to compare Sotomayor to Harriet Miers. How many courts did Miers serve on when Bush nominated her? Oh yeah […]

So Souter’s Retiring

Misc

I’m sure the right is outraged over Supreme Court Justice David Souter announcing his retirement only a few months into a Democratic administration. They probably view it as the final deception by the George H.W. Bush choice who turned out to be more to the left than right. Now we get the media frenzy over […]

BREAKING: Rove And Miers Will Give Depositions

Misc

Didn’t expect this: Former White House political adviser Karl Rove and counsel Harriet Miers have agreed to face questions from Congress about allegations of improper political influence in the Justice Department, the House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday. Both will give depositions to investigators from the committee, and claims of privilege will be “significantly limited,” according […]

McCain Gives His Love To Pork

Misc

Howie gives us the details of the love Sarah Palin has with pork: In fact, Palin has always been a pork-crazed maniac, the kind of straw man McCain loves to bash on the stump. This year Alaska received nearly $100 million more In pork than any other state ($379,669,715). According to the Senate Lobbying Disclosure […]

Justice?

Misc

I was working on a post about the FBI investigating if Roger Clemens lied to Congress and wondering what it takes to get an investigation when someone from the administration does the same. Well it looks like someone was in my mind. The AP has just issued a breaking news alert that Nancy Pelosi is […]

Hey Bush! Where Does The Buck Stop?

Misc

I have had jobs in management and owned my own company, and if anyone blatantly defied something I said needed to be done, they would either be looking for a job or be reassigned to a lessor capacity. So why doesn’t the chief executive of this country follow such a simple business philosophy? When news […]

Well Imagine That! (updated)

Misc

(updated and bumped) The Muckraker has uncovered a gem from the DOJ document dump: Four months after the San Diego United States Attorney’s office launched an investigation into whether he had accepted bribes from defense contractors, and little more than a month before he pled guilty to those charges, Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) signed on […]

The Highly Broken Administration

Misc

When a company continues to fail miserably the answer is not to fire all the employees, but rather the CEO. If a team goes on a multi-season losing streak, the players aren’t all replaced, but rather the coach. So why doesn’t the same apply to the White House? In the past we have seen great […]

Bush Might Be Pissed

Misc

Well Bush must be worried about the today’s USA Today report and has already addressed reporters on it: President Bush addressed Thursday a newspaper report that the National Security Agency was collecting records of tens of millions of ordinary Americans’ phone calls. Bush neither confrimed or denied the report that AT&T Corp., Verizon Communications Inc., […]
