Mucus Man admitted he'd ignore regime wrongdoing

Michael Mukasey - the dickhead who serves as Attorney General under Bush - admitted in a written statement before he was confirmed by the Senate that he wouldn't go after Bush regime officials for their lawbreaking.

In this admission, Mr. Mucus said he met with the leading dimbulbs of Far Right activism and assured them he wouldn't go after figures in Justice Department scandals like the illegal firings of the U.S. attorneys and the department's support of torture.

Because of this, the Justice Department's reputation is now in even worse shambles than it already was.

Mukasey actually had the audacity to boast about this policy - now known as the Mukasey Doctrine - in a speech to the American Bar Association. "Boys will be boys," he bragged.

Is the DLC happy now for confirming Mukasey, who won't even prosecute those who abuse the public trust? They'd never confirm John Edwards, all because he had an affair, but they confirmed Mucus Man without hesitation - even though he had already admitted he wouldn't prosecute regime thugs.
