I was just now listening to Marjorie Cohn on Thom Hartman's show - she is president of the National Lawyers Guild and has authored a book on the criminality of the Bush administration.
Anyway, she and Thom had each heard the following rumor within the past couple of hours:
Bush appoints Joe Lieberman as Attorney General. The Senate, which always confirms its own, confirms Joe.
The Connecticut Governor, who is a Republican gets to appoint a successor to Joe, who will no doubt be a Republican.
This tips the Senate back to the Republicans, which stops all these investigations and further investigations. It also puts in place an Attorney General who is a Bush lackey and who has stated that he thought Gonzalez was being too conservative when he said the Geneva Convention was "quaint."
Hmmmm...

That's scarier than Jack Beatty of the Atlantic Monthly postulating yesterday on OnPoint that Bush might appoint Orrin Hatch. At least that way you get a Republican Senator replacing a Republican Senator.

I was about to say, No way! Lieberman is a flunky but not enough of a flunky.
But then I remembered the kiss ...
