More GOP Scandal Overload

It appears that Attorney General Gonzales is definitely in his last throes now.

In regards to the U.S. Attorney scandal, how do Republicans attempt to refute criticisms that the Attorneys were fired for politically-motivated reasons? Why they.... launch politically-motivated attack ads against fired Attorneys to attack their credibility! Genius!

All this while a 'thank you' email further implicates Karl Rove in the Attorney firings.

What a grand old party indeed.

Moving on, in the seemingly-forgotten scandal over the FBI's abuse of the Patriot Act, FBI director Robert Mueller begs Congress not to strip any of the extra powers granted them after 9/11. They'll totally use them honestly now, they swear.

Finally, there is another scandal brewing (!) over whether the GOP was using the General Services Administration (the government's procurement agency) to finance political operations for Republican campaigns. GSA Chief Lurita Doan was questioned by Congress about this-- in particular, her involvement with a Karl Rove-created slide show on 2008 races to focus on (you can see Rove's list- here). Her response was well... not very responsive.

She must've developed a case of that Republican amnesia.
