If you've been paying attention at all, you've heard about the scandal involving the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys, and the subsequent cover-up by the White House and Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, who famously said that the US Constitution does not guarantee a right to Habeas Corpus. Gonzalez is also famous for being able to walk up-right while being completely void of a spinal column.
The fact that the Attorneys were fired for a flagrant lack of proclivity to kiss up to the Bushies shouldn't surprise anyone. Bush's preference for blind adherence to his sinister goals over job-competence is well-precedented. Perhaps the best example of this is the appointment of the infamous Michael Brown to the head of FEMA; a man whose prior employment was over-seeing horse trial judges for the Arabian Horse Association, a position from which he was asked to resign.
Agents in charge of accounting for war expenditures in Iraq have been criticised for a lack of experience, but curiously, many among them have been involved in campaign fund-raising for Bush. Is it coincidental that 400 Billion dollars have simply evaporated in Iraq?
