SWOP homepageMukasey new Attorney General
Like many others, I too am skeptical about this new Attorney General. The Associated Press gives a bi-partisan review, and states he is the best candidate to restore faith in the justice department. HA!Click on the link and see a bit of analysis on this guy, not to mention his "bi-partisan" support for the Patriot Act.

SWOP homepageBushies Behaving Badly: An illustrated guide to GOP scandals.

Having a hard time keeping track of all 10,000 GOP scandals? Between fired U.S. attorneys, deleted RNC e-mails, sexually harassed pages, outed CIA agents, and tortured Iraqi prisoners—not to mention the warrantless wiretapping, plum defense contracts, and golf junkets to Scotland—you could be forgiven for losing track of which congressman or Bush administration flunky did which shady thing. Renzi—now, was that the guy with the skeezy land deal? Or the woman Paul Wolfowitz promoted?
We're not saying that Democrats never do anything shady. (Cash-stuffed freezers come to mind.) But as the saying goes, with great power come great opportunities to screw up royally. And if your memory is as hazy as ours, you could probably use a handy refresher.
