SCHUMER ON VOTING FOR MUKASEY: YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHO BUSH HAD ON TAP FOR ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL
By R J Shulman

WASHINGTON, D.C.- New York Senator Chuck Schumer’s last minute support of Michael Mukasey for Attorney General, despite the nominee’s refusal to say water boarding is torture may have surprised some. However, the Post Times Sun Dispatch has learned why Schumer recommended Mukasey. “If we didn’t confirm someone soon,” Schumer told P-T-S-D, “Bush told me who the new acting AG would be. If you think it would be hard to rid the Justice Department of the stench of the politics of Alberto Gonzales,” Schumer continued, “just try to eliminate the smell of sulfur.”
