It Don't Mean Thing...If It Ain't Got That Swing
Sunday, April 15, 2007

Do you smell something burning? Josh Marshall over at TPM does, and I agree. He's been all over the increasingly titillating story of US Attorney firing scandal. Things are about to get kicked into high gear this week with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales set to appear before the US Senate Tuesday. Josh points out this story from The Albuquerque Journal, and gives this ominous analysis:
No one disputes that Domenici's call to Iglesias was at best inappropriate. But there's been a lack of direct evidence that Iglesias's refusal to bow to political pressure led directly to his firing. Now we have that evidence. And it's not Kyle Sampson or even Alberto Gonzales whom Domenici went to to get sign off for Iglesias's ouster. It was right to the president. And the available evidence now points strongly to the conclusion that the final decision to fire David Iglesias came from the President of the United States.

Once more, with feeling!
