For Immediate Release 09/17/2007 Pelosi: ‘Next Attorney General Must Restore Public Trust That Has Been Eroded by Bush Administration’

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s nomination of retired federal Judge Michael B. Mukasey for U.S. Attorney General:

“The President today nominated a former federal judge with a distinguished career to be the next attorney general.

“An Attorney General must be independent from political influence and have deep respect for the Constitution of the United States. The next Attorney General must restore the public trust that has been seriously eroded by the subversion of federal law enforcement for partisan purposes and by the Bush Administration’s persistent disregard of constitutional rights.

“Confirmation hearings will provide an opportunity for the nominee to answer tough questions on checks and balances and the role of Congress in its oversight and legislative responsibilities, including its ongoing review of the U.S. attorney scandal. Confirmation hearings will also provide vital information on Judge Mukasey’s approach to the new, flawed FISA law and our civil liberties.”

“An Attorney General must be independent from political influence and have deep respect for the Constitution of the United States, unlike members like myself and other Representatives in the Congress” stated House Speaker Pelosi.

There, fixed it!

Only in San Francisco would Shrieker Pelosi be considered ‘too conservative’ by her constituents.

She makes that now-decaying turd Tip O’Neill look like Sam Rayburn.

Next Attorney General Must Restore Public Trust That Has Been Eroded by Bush Administration’

This should read:
The next Speaker of the House must restore public trust that has been eroded by MoveOn.org and George Soros and by continully lying to the American public about our defeat in Iraq and the war crimes I have committed.

Allow me to translate:

“Even though it is the Senate that votes to approve or disapprove a President’s suggestion for Attorney General, and I don’t have a say in it at all, the Attorney General must please ME, or I will say nasty things about him and frown a lot.”
