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 Dobb's, you ignorant slut. -- nothing like reporting the facts in an unbiased manner. What about Bill Clinton's firing of 90+ Federal Prosecutors? I guess Clinton wasn't partisan, or politically driven (like you!).
This is the most partisan, politically driven administration in history
And what is his example, or examples, of this? Hmmm?
Dobbs has really turned out to be a simple-minded man.
I had hoped for better when he resigned CNN because he didn't want to interrupt his show to cover Hitlery's news conference as "breaking news" but he is just awful nowadays.
Yuk...can't stand to look at his face on TV as I surf by.
If only, Lou ... if only!
In fact, he's saying just that. He's saying the Democrats are wasting time and resources posturing about a silly non-scandal.
"Didn't Lou Dobbs get the memo that said "Most Americans don't care about this issue"...Talk about beating a dead horse."
I think that is what his Op-Ed piece is saying - that this is all of bunch of BS that no average citizen in the USA even cares about.
"In fact, he's saying just that. He's saying the Democrats are wasting time and resources posturing about a silly non-scandal."
Taken as a whole, I agree with you freedomdefender, -- But it's Dobb's transparent way of getting in his own few partisan licks thats outrageous.
Buffoons 'eh? Now we know what attracted Dobbs to the story. It is the Spring mating season...
Why did you use all those topics to post this?
At best it is an editorial. Not even news worthy. Please this is 'his' opinion and not news or of the topics you chose.
As per the bias. Of course the man is gonna have a bias. It's his column.
Or is it that Lou Dobbs is an incompetent wanna-be talk show host?
He's "poxing" both houses. In this context, that's a spin that's actually pro-Bush, because the issue under discussion is the "scandal" that has the Bush administration on the defensive, and the point of this column is that it's a big nothing. Overall, this column cuts heavily against the Democrats. So, in the process, he accuses the administration of being political. So what? Nobody cares, because every administration is political - that's why the business is called politics.
It is just more of the same, if you ask me. They are posturing as the champions of the permanent bureaucracy, government unions being their biggest union supporters.
A media buffoon derides incompetence at the AG office. How strange. NOT
He also lies.
This is the most partisan, politically driven administration in history...
That would be the Administration of His Slickness, not the current one.
