Bush Expected to Name Judge as Gonzales’s Successor - New York Times

Bush Expected to Name Judge as Gonzales’s Successor - New York Times:

"Unlike Mr. Gonzales, Mr. Mukasey is not a close confidante of the president.
Nor is he a Washington insider. But people in both political parties say he
possesses the two qualities that Mr. Bush has been looking for in a nominee: a
law-and-order sensibility that dovetails with the president’s agenda for the war
on terror, and the potential to avoid a bruising confirmation battle with the
Democrats who now run the Senate."


Imagine where we would be now if he had made choices like this from the beginning. I think that Bush, when he got to be president, thought that he could do what he wanted, when he wanted. He didn't understand that even the most powerful office in the land has to work with congress and world leaders to get things done. I hope that he is a good AG, and that he can put some of this pain behind us.
