Chuck Schumer

MANIFESTO

Congratulations, New Yorkers. You certainly got your senatorial money's worth in today's Judiciary Committee hearing.

I think Schumer's pretty much got it right: Like too many other Bushies, either AG the AG had no clue what was going on in the Department of Justice and should be fired, or he's guilty of undermining basic American legal principles and should be fired.

As New York's junior senator so aptly put it, AG the AG can't have it both ways.

UPDATE — It's been a great day for Schumer. He's also being credited for getting northeastern taxpayers an extension in filing their returns.
