NEW YORK (CNN) -- An incompetent attorney general, who says he wasn't fully aware that nearly 10 percent of the U.S. attorneys who work for him throughout the country were being fired and permitted the 110,000-person Justice Department that he leads to give inaccurate information at best, or simply lie about it at worst, to the Congress and the American people, has the full confidence of the president who's lost the confidence of most people. And this is what passes for a big-time, dramatic, historic constitutional crisis in 21st century America? You've got to be kidding. This is the most partisan, politically driven administration in history, and we're all supposed to be surprised by its conduct and motivation in the firing of these U.S. attorneys? Please. Now the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law has voted to approve subpoenas that would force chief policy adviser Karl Rove, former White House counsel Harriet Miers and other top presidential aides to testify publicly and under oath about their involvement in the firings. Guess what? That little ol' subcommittee can't do much of anything to force executive branch employees to testify without the help of the very man and department at the center of this altogether silly and over-baked controversy. That's right; Attorney General Alberto Gonzales or one of his U.S. attorneys would have to enforce any subpoenas refused by any of the president's aides.

Lou, I guess it depends on when you decide to start history.
When George Bush came to town, he immediately met with the leaders of the Democrat Party--even Dashle and Gebhardt. When Clinton came to Washington, he waited seven weeks.
In addition, every time Clinton's advisors--Albright, Rubin, Cohen, Berger, Panetta, Podesta, Lockhart, etc.--stepped in front of a TV camera, they knocked Republicans. President Bush banned that gratuitous partisan rancor.
Get a life, Lou, and maybe a history book.

It always is when your completely on the other side!
Lou Dobbs is a legend in his own mind.
At least these attorneys aren't faced with million dollar legal bills because of party politics like those Billy Dale had to face.
Lou Dobbsis the most partisan, politically driven "journalist" in history
