There is a rumor flying that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff may be tapped by President Bush as the next Attorney General. From Bush's point of view, it is a good fit. Chertoff was part of the incompetent federal response to Hurricane Katrina, so that's good. It would appear that he's also lied to Congress, so that works, too. Plus, he'll back the President in the face of the rule of law. Folks, we have a winner!
In all seriousness, the question is this. If Chertoff is nominated, will the Senate let all of his myriad shortcomings slide or will they actually tell the President "no?" Stay tuned.
