Thanks, Norbizness, for reminding me that just because the Bushies are on their way out the door doesn’t mean that they aren’t still the worst motherfuckers to descend on our capitol. Attorney General Michael Mukasey has declined the no doubt exciting opportunity to prosecute his criminally minded cronies.
No criminal prosecutions are planned for former Justice Department officials accused of allowing politics to influence the hiring of prosecutors, immigration judges and other career government lawyers, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday.
Okay, so we expected that. The Bush administration has made it clear that they believe that they’re above the law, and probably above the laws of nature as well. But Mukasey decided it wasn’t enough to be a ass-licking, back-scratching, criminal-coddling agent of tyranny. Oh no. He had to be an asshole on top of that.
