The NY Times has an articletoday indicating the White House is unhappy with the AG. He is about to be thrown under the bus. We can tell because there are whispers coming from Rove.
"I really think there’s a serious estrangement between the White House and Alberto now," one of the Republicans said....
....inside the White House, aides to the president, including Mr. Rove and Joshua B. Bolten, the chief of staff, were said to be increasingly concerned that the controversy could damage Mr. Bush.
These guys are scoundrels: everything they do is underhanded. If the AG is out then they should just do it and MOVE ON. The Machiavellian tactics of the Rove political machine will not allow this to happen. In an effort to save their own skin they have to slide the dagger in slowly and twist it around some. Meanwhile our justice system continues to suffer. Do they really think GWB has not already taken a beating? Could this presidency get any worse? What the hell?
2008 cannot come soon enough for me.
And how about Harriet Meirs? did this poor lady ever know what hit her?
With Mr. Bush traveling in Mexico, the White House insisted that the president’s role had been minimal and laid the blame primarily on Harriet E. Miers, who was White House counsel when the prosecutors lost their jobs and who stepped down in January.
Can you believe these guys. In an effort to protect Rove they trashed Harriet Miers. Albeit, It is probably a good thing Ms Miers is not the Supreme Court Justice, but she also was obviously a lackey within the administration who was doing what she was told. Additionally, she worshiped GWB. Kissed the ground at his feet. What does she get for this...tossed under the bus with the AG.
We often talk about the news cast "feeding frenzy" around here...what we are witnessing now is the Republican feeding frenzy... every time it happens I find it as horrifying as the last time. I never get used to it.
