"JUST HITTING ANOTHER
BRICK WALL"

Well, here we go again; “DO AS WE SAY,

NOT AS WE DO!”

Hillary “The Corrupt” along with the rest of the know nothing “Dumbocrats” and a handful of turncoat Republocrats are screaming for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign for firing eight federal prosecutors. But Hillary, once again is showing just how disingenuous and hypocritical she can be.

OOOO, Democrats are in hissy fit over the news this week that the Administration's decision to fire eight U.S. Attorneys originated from--gasp--the White House. My Gosh, How can such a thing happen? Senator Hillary Clinton joined the fray yesterday, blaming President Bush for "the politicization of our prosecutorial system." Oh George, please say it ain’t so!

Wait a minute, what’s this? Hillary Clinton is just the Senator to walk point on this issue of dismissing U.S. attorneys because she has direct personal experience. And, if there is to be any Congressional probe of the matter, I'd suggest she call herself as the first witness--and bring along Webster Hubbell as her chief counsel.

Those of us who remember all of the scandals during the Clinton administration, know that Hubbell was a former partner of Mrs. Clinton at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock who later went to jail for mail fraud and tax evasion. He was also Bill and Hillary Clinton's choice as Associate Attorney General in the Justice Department when Janet Reno, his nominal superior, simultaneously fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys in March 1993. Ms. Reno--or Mr. Hubbell--gave them 10 days to move out of their offices. President Clinton played the move as something perfectly ordinary: "All those people are routinely replaced," he told reporters, "and I have not done anything differently." In fact, the dismissals were unprecedented: Previous Presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, had both retained holdovers from the previous Administration and only replaced them gradually as their tenures expired. This allowed continuity of leadership within the U.S. Attorney offices during the transition.

Equally extraordinary were the politics at play in the firings. At the time, Jay Stephens, then U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, was investigating then Ways and Means Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, and was "within 30 days" of making a decision on an indictment. Mr. Rostenkowski, who was shepherding the Clinton's economic program through Congress, eventually went to jail on mail fraud charges and was later pardoned by Mr. Clinton. At the same time, allegations concerning some of the Clintons' Whitewater dealings were coming to a head, and by dismissing all 93 U.S. Attorneys at once, the Clintons conveniently cleared the decks to appoint "Friend of Bill" Paula Casey as the U.S. Attorney for Little Rock. Ms. Casey never did bring any big Whitewater indictments, and she rejected information from another FOB, David Hale, on the business practices of the Arkansas elite including Mr. & Mrs. Clinton. When it comes to "politicizing" Justice, in short, the Bush White House just cannot hold a candle to the Clintons, as they are professionals when it comes to lying and underhanded dealings.

There was nothing wrong with replacing the eight Attorneys, all of whom serve at the President's pleasure. Prosecutors deserve supervision like any other executive branch appointees, but the supposed scandal this week is that President Bush had been informed last fall that some U.S. Attorneys had been less than vigorous in pursuing voter-fraud cases and that the President had made the point to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Voter fraud strikes at the heart of democratic institutions, and it was entirely appropriate for Mr. Bush--or any President--to insist that his appointees act energetically against it. So, Hillary, why don’t you make America happy and keep your trap shut. How dare you go after others when you have so much garbage from yours and your despicable husbands past that you so brazenly refuse to explain? You are the prime example of the pot calling the kettle black.

HOORAH to John Gibson of the FOX NEWS Channel:

No Islamic Laws in U.S.

Mr. Gibson had the following to say on his “MY WORD” segment of his show on the Fox News Channel;

Over the last few weeks we've been covering the story of the cabdrivers in Minneapolis — Muslim cabdrivers, predominantly from Somalia -- who are trying to institute Islamic Law n the way they handle their cab-driving duties.

The local law in Minneapolis requires that drivers who are licensed to pick up fares at the Minneapolis airport pick up anybody who needs a ride and has the money to pay for it. The Muslim cabdrivers are trying to exclude anyone who is carrying a bottle of alcohol or has a dog with them, even if the dog is assisting a blind person, a seeing-eye dog. Dogs and alcohol are forbidden in Muslim law, though quite legal in our law. So the cabdrivers want Islamic law to apply.

Now word out of Minneapolis that in a Target store there Muslim cashiers refuse to scan bacon or pork because they would have to pick up the package and that too is forbidden in Islamic law. This, by the way, is the same place where the six imams created a disturbance and were taken off a flight and are now suing.

We have to decide what we're going to be as a country. Are we going to be a place of two sets of laws — Islamic for newcomers from places such as Somalia, and our law for the rest of us — or are we going to insist that everyone who comes here do so with the understanding that they cannot bring their law with them?

Muslims can refuse to carry alcohol in their cars, but not if they are cabdrivers. They can refuse to handle my package of bacon, but not if they are checkout cashiers.

We respect people's traditions, and we expect ours to be respected in return. This is a country of laws, but not Islamic laws. Other newcomers have had to cope with new rules. Muslims should, too.

That's My Word.
