WH Set to Announce AG Nominee

Word out of Washington is that the White House is set to announce its nominee to replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Former solicitor general Ted Olson has emerged as the likely pick, and that's a shame.

By all accounts he's a smart guy, but he's about as independent as Rosie O’Donnell is restrained. He's the same Ted Olson who represented bush before the Supreme Court in the Florida recount case back in 2000. He's also the same Ted Olson who was knee deep in the Arkansas Project, the conservative smear job campaign that attacked the Clintons during the 90's.

For a Justice Department still reeling from the prosecutor purge and warrantless wiretapping - any person with a conscience let alone a clue, would try and restore a hint of calm to a beleaguered agency with little over a year until a new administration takes charge. But doing the right let alone the smart thing has never been Bush and friends forte.

Politics is not supposed to be the job of the Attorney General and his charges, but the idea of an independent law enforcement branch is so comical to W., they've decided what the hell, let’s finish the way they started. Either they think Dems will shoot Olson down, scoring political points for the GOP or they just don't care or know any better.

No matter how you spin it, you have to wonder how they think America wins with this garbage. After 7 years they still don't get it.
