Just on his track record alone (leaks, voter fraud, illegal immigration) the AG should have been canned a long time ago. But keeping him around has led to the present situation where the timing of such a move has become politically dis-advantageous. The political short sightedness of President Bush's administration (starting in '01 with that "...setting a new tone.." nonsense) is comming home to roost. For proof of this you need look no further back than the '06 election and no further ahead than '08.
