In WaPo today:

“Renzi Aide Called US Attorney to Ask About Probe
The top aide to Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz) called the
office of Arizona’s U.S. Attorney about six weeks be-
fore the prosecutor was fired, inquiring about a federal
probe into the congressman’s role in a land deal that
benefitted a former business partner and political patron.

. . .The incident means that Charlton was the third of eight
U.S. attorneys forced to resign last year who had reported
to Justice officials that Republican members of Congress or
their staffs made inappropriate overtures to their offices
about politically sensitive investigations they were super-
vising.”

Any of the site’s resident neocons want to restate that this is just another nonissue- a witchhunt by the desperate-to-pin-something-on-Bush Democrats? Or that they serve at the pleasure of the president, lol?

Two of the fired U.S. attorneys, Dan Bogden of Nevada and Paul Charlton of Arizona, were pressured by a top Justice Department official last fall to commit resources to adult obscenity cases, even though both of their offices faced serious shortages of manpower. Each of them warned top officials that pursuing the obscenity cases would force them to pull prosecutors away from other significant criminal investigations. In Nevada, ongoing cases included gang violence and racketeering, corporate healthcare fraud, and the prosecution of a Republican official on corruption charges. In Arizona, they included multiple investigations of child exploitation, including “traveler” cases in which pedophiles arrive from elsewhere to meet children they’ve targeted online.

yonason- Uh…the dummy you linked too is NOT an atmospheric scientist. He is a high school economics teacher!

Uh, yourself, W.A.

1. He isn’t a climatologist, but he IS a scientist (unlike Al Gore who is nothing but a con artist), and in his blog he has multiple references to expert climatologists who say whatever global warming is occuring is normal and humans are not the cause.

2. He is NOT “a high school economics teacher” but a highly respected retired university professor with over 250 academic publications.

If you don’t like your oponent’s references but can’t find anything legitimate to criticise, no problem, just make something up.
