9 senators vowing to vote against Mukasey as Attorney General ... (you know, the third AG since Boy King's handlers stole 2000 the election? oh) ...

anyhow, Mukasey, in typical Bush League form, has danced around declaring whether or not water boarding is torture... here's the breakdown so far.... and look at those GOP senators, in unison, scrapping ethics and the Geneva Convention to support another clownish new mouthpiece for the most corrupt administration of our lifetimes...

look everyone! it's our White House demanding confirmation now, questions later... oops, 'cept they don't answer questions!!... i'm beginning to believe Perino is a cyborg...

White House To Congress: Confirm Mukasey Now, Ask Questions About Torture Later »

During today’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Dana Perino brushed aside lawmakers’ concerns about Michael Mukasey’s views on torture, urging them to quickly confirm him as attorney general. “Once he is confirmed, then the Congress has the capabilty to ask him to come to Congress and to testify on all sorts of matters, including this one,” she said.

But this technique — confirm now, question later — immediately raised red flags with reporters, who pointed out that if Mukasey becomes attorney general, the Bush administration would likely block him from answering questions in the future as well:

MS. PERINO: While they were saying is — which Judge Mukasey has done, is to say, I will not be able to provide a legal opinion about any particular technique. He is not read into the programs. … And once he is confirmed, then the Congress has the capability to ask him to come to Congress and to testify on all sorts of matters, including this one. […]

Q: Dana, a follow up on that. The McCain-Graham letter, on the assumption that Judge Mukasey is confirmed and is read into the program, your policy is still not to talk about specific methods, so he is, if he is confirmed, not going to be in a position to speak about waterboarding as being legal or not.

Watch it:

Perino dodged the reporter’s follow-up, replying that several lawmakers have “been briefed on the legal underpinnings and they have been briefed on the techniques. So Congress — the appropriate members of Congress have all the information that they need about these programs. They are safe, they are effective, they are tough, and they are legal.” But in reality, the White House refuses to even define torture.

most corrupt administration of all time... rotten to the core...

Bush: No Attorney General if Not Mukasey By Laurie Kellman
The Associated Press

"If the Senate Judiciary Committee were to block Judge Mukasey on these grounds, they would set a new standard for confirmation that could not be met by any responsible nominee for attorney general," Bush said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

"That would guarantee that America would have no attorney general during this time of war," the president said.

The comment raised questions about whether Bush would nominate anyone else to succeed Alberto Gonzales as the nation's top law enforcer. Bush could bypass Congress by filling the job with someone serving in an acting capacity over the last 14 months of his administration.

and of course, more of the "we don't torture doubletalk...

Bush urged swift approval of Mukasey, saying the U.S. needs an attorney general on the job to help with the fight against terrorism.

Without saying whether interrogators use waterboarding, Bush said, "The American people must know that whatever techniques we use are within the law."

Asked whether he considers waterboarding legal, Bush replied, "I'm not going to talk about techniques. There's an enemy out there."

I would be more pissed at Bush if he appointed someone that
Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, and the rest of the lunatic left liked!
