The Chickens Come Home Yet Again
Roost away, chickens of justice. Politicizing the judiciary is always wrong, and I hope Bush pays dearly for it. Apparently, it wasn't enough to get 2 justices on the Supreme Court, so they discussed firing nearly 100 federal attorneys, presumably to be replaced with more Bush cronies and appointments? It's startling, depressing, and infuriating to see the damage of this administration has caused will ring throughout America for decades at this rate. You may be a prince, George, but YOU ARE NOT OUR KING. Update: More on the suppression of GOP-unfriendly prosecutions and that Gonzalez' may be next on the block.
On the presidential ticket crazy, Hillary has decided she is above criticism. For the record, I agree with Geffen's comments - Hillary is ALREADY a polarizing figure, and her accusations of right wing conspiracies (it's not a conspiracy if it's obvious), maddening flip-flopping particularly on the War, and naked ambition will just make it worse for the party as well as fit the profile for the candidacy. This whole incident has shown that she's not afraid to pull classic Bush-like politics by asking someone to put on the kidd gloves while arming herself with brass knuckles, and I despise that. But she's got a (pretty good) ex-president stumping for her, and has been moving very decidely towards winning. It sort of scares me.
At least Obama is a real guy, and beleive it or not that gives me some faith - like Bush, he's made some mistakes but he has shown that he can ALSO learn from them and correct the problem. Whereas Hillary has worked madly to be perfect, even to the point of burying her Republican past. Enjoy the circus, but cross your fingers.
