“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Pining for Ashcroft

Rumors are Bush has settled on a replacement for John Ashcroft. Let's get to know the man.

He publicly defended the administration's policy of detaining terrorism suspects without trial, something since overturned by the Supreme Court.

He wrote the memo in which Bush claimed the right to waive anti-torture law and international treaties providing protections to prisoners of war.

He was also a partner in a law firm that represented Enron, the company most thought of when you talk about corporate fraud.

Ladies and gentlemen, the new choice of the Bush Administration to defend your rights, Alberto Gonzales.
