Yet Another Example of illegal actions by Bush Administration

Internal Justice Dept. Report Cites Illegal Hiring Practices.
Yet another example of Bush & the Republicans he appointed have abusing their power and acted illegally.

For nearly two years, a young political aide sought to cultivate a “farm system” for Republicans at the Justice Department, hiring scores of prosecutors and immigration judges who espoused conservative priorities and Christian lifestyle choices.

It sure would be nice to see the law applied to the lot of them. More reason to bring Kucinich’s call for impeachment to consideration by the Congress.

Very well put - Obama on offense

A Place to Bury Strangers
Bob Herbert has a really appropriate op-ed piece in todays NY Times, “Can Obama Run the Offense?

McCain’s constant whining is getting tiresome. Here is the opening that got my attention:

Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. Barack Obama is a United States senator, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his party’s candidate for president of the United States — and yet it was somehow presumptuous of him to meet with foreign leaders last week during his trip to the Middle East and Europe.

I’ll say this about Senator Obama. He sure raises people’s hackles. I’ve never seen anyone so roundly criticized for such grievous offenses as giving excellent speeches and urging people of different backgrounds to take a chance on working together. How dare he? And 200,000 people turned out to hear him in Berlin. Unforgivable.
