He should claim that the Democrats didn’t like Miguel Estrada or himself in high positions.
Let the “thinking hispanics” figure the rest out.

To President Bush,
Do not subject the next nominee to confirmation hearings, recess appoint them and really piss-off the Rats, RINOs and MSM.

I hope that Gonzalez’s replacement will be Asa Hutchison. He’s a conservative who was the U.S. Attorney for Arkansas, 1981-’86; Chairman of the Ark. GOP, 1993-’97; U.S. Rep., 1997-2001; Director of the DEA, 2001-’03; and Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, 2003-’05.

All the articles about this are full of the usual “charges” that amount to nothing.

I know a lot of people are glad to see him go, but I hope folks pause long enough to consider the ramifications of this. If he was going to resign, it should have been much earlier; now it cripples the White House—fat chance anyone the President appoints will get confirmed, and now we can look forward to at least another year’s worth of “investigations” and “hearings.”
And then there’s the issue of the fired attorneys—now the ‘Rats are already crowing that they’ve achieved a victory of some sort and demanding yet MORE investigations, prosecutors, and the whole nine yards. That it was totally LEGAL escapes them, and I suspect this will result in a really bad precedent.
I’m not necessarily a Gonzales fan, but this is not a good thing.

If the President managed to bring Mother Teresa back to life and appoint her to the job, the ‘Rats would find a way to demonize her and refuse to confirm her. It won’t matter who he appoints, unless possibly it’s Hillary (making warding off evil sign) herself.

He should claim that the Democrats didnt like Miguel Estrada or himself in high positions. He should do what the Dems would do; were situation reversed. PLay the 'racism' card. . .claim Dem's racist.
That would have them sputtering. . .and worse.

I’m sure Chuck Schumer’s makeup artist is excited about this.
To: PhilCollins
Asa Hutchison is a big “amnesty for illegals” backer, worse even than Bush is, if that is possible. Would be a horrible choice for that reason alone.

His departure will create severe problems for Bush. Getting a successor through the Senate will be tough. However, Bush brought the problem on himself. He appointed a man who was a crony rather than a competent attorney. Gonzales was a living example of the Peter Principle in operation. There have been too many of these incompetent crony appointments by Bush. Brown af FEMA is simply another example.

Let's see....what if they let Joe Lieberman have a major say in the selection in return for switching caucuses in the Senate? Just a thought.

If he appointed Ted Olson, he would make it through the Senate. No one would dare go after him viciously because he is too nice a guy and because his wife Barbara Olson was killed on one of the planes flying into the twin towers on 9/11. Plus Olson should be rewarded for years of good public service to the Pub party.

He was no friend of gun owners. Good riddance! Wasn't this guy once on G.W.'s "short list" of Supreme Court nominees? And remember how some Freepers actually touted him for that nomination because of (yes!) his ethnicity?
Jeesh.

Good riddance, maybe he could take Johnny Sutton with him.
