pre-occupied?
Yep...two documents to read...both highly technical legal documents....one of 109 pages and the other of 212 pages....sort of like reading the phone book ...only a lot less interesting....
Catching up on the news today...
Apparently the work of Josh Micah Marshall at Talking Points Memo on the firing of the 8 U. S Attorneys has metatisized into an major headache for the Bush administration...so great a headache that Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Chuck Schumer held a joint press conference to call for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales....this, of course, prompted Gonzales to hold a press conference at which he said, mistakes were made, but not by him, and that besides there wasn't anything wrong anyway, and besides that, well because, just because...
Now, here's the latest update from Josh....it's a quote from a floor speech by Senator Arlen Specter about one of the U. S. Attorneys who was fired, Carol Lam:
Mr. Specter raised the question of whether Ms. Lam had been dismissed.
because she was “about to investigate other people who were politically
powerful,” and he questioned the Justice Department’s initial explanation that
those who had lost their jobs had received poor performance evaluations
This is going to be interesting....
