Sen. Harkin: "According to last attorney general (Bush) was king-maybe this 1 believes same thing"

Newly confirmed Attorney General Michael Mukasey will not rein in President Bush, who views himself as having the nearly unchecked executive power of a monarch, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) says.

"Are we just going to have another attorney general that's just going to kowtow to the king -- the president. I'm sorry I get those terms kinda confused here when I'm talking about Bush; I don't know if he's king or president," Harkin told his colleagues from the Senate floor Thursday.

"According to the last attorney general (Bush) was king, and maybe this one believes the same thing, he can do whatever he wants to," Harkin continued. "But even in 1215, the King of England was held to the standard of habeas corpus. I guess we want to turn the clock back to before the Magna Carta."

I am so tired of all these spineless politicians

schumer and FEINSTEIN deemed mukasy good enough, and any blocking would have gotten no support. this was to rebuke them for giving another bushie to georgie. tho the temporary guy was even worse.
Harkin will always have my luv.

...doesnt matter who is acting out what role for the benefit of certain voters- in the end, Bush gets what he wants- as always.

:thumbsup:

LOL! Another "good cop" with some choice words for the benefit of the base- after the fact of course.
