# Who should serve President Obama as Attorney General? Who can fix the DoJ? How? #

[L. Coyote]

Patrick Leahy is my first thought.

An important criteria for selection is recall.
The new AG should be able to recall the past,
so as to prosecute crime instead of lying to cover up crime!

As I recall, the criminals are well-known,
as are there crimes. Will the next AG have recall too?

1. I spose Vince Bugliosi is too much to hope for...?

[BurtWorm]

2. Elliot Spitzer!

:hide:

[Muttocracy]

9. I was thinking about Spitzer this morning :(

He helped get the NY Senate to go blue again this year. I was totally hoping he'd be NY gov for a while and then national office.

Such a smart guy, and I am so disappointed.
:cry:

[Oregone]

10. Jon Edwards!

Or both. One can work the night shift.


:hide:

[BurtWorm]

15. Maybe they should both work the night shift.

3. He or she should be able to belt out a stirring rendition of "Let the Eagle Soar"

at the very least...

:evilgrin:

[liberal N proud]

4. If it were not for his mistress problem...

John Edwards would be my choice.

The only reason the mistress is a problem is the media

[ogneopasno]

5. I totally agree. When he dropped out of the race, I felt sure he would be AG. Until is affair.

I would have liked him for DOL, too. But he's done, and that's too bad.

[LiberalHeart]

6. Hillary.

[napi21]

7. How about Johnathan Turley from GU. He's the legal beagel who

appears on most of the cable shows. He has the right personality to work very well with Obama, and his opinions have always been right on the mark!

[Flarney]

8. No one. Obama's AG will serve the American people, as it should be. :-)

Bush used the AG has his personal ass-coverer, but I think Obama will make the AG the people's attorney again.

That said, I'd love to see RFK Jr. as AG.

[Muttocracy]

11. Patrick Fitzgerald. Amy Klobuchar if MN can spare her. nt

[Renew Deal]

12. I agree. Probably Fitz

He's a badass. I think he'd do a good job.

[L. Coyote]

17. How about if the AG were NOT a Republican!! ??

Someone willing to determine how much "Fitz" covered up!

[Muttocracy]

21. sorry for my ignorance. nt

[garybeck]

13. RFK JR. END OF DISCUSSION.

[Fireweed247]

19. I agree

:applause:
I LOVE that guy!!

[garybeck]

20. there is no better choice, period.

am I being emphatic enough?

[JCMach1]

14. Bob Casey, Jr.

Rendell can appoint his replacement...

[meow2u3]

16. Not Patrick Leahy

The Governor of Vermont is Republican and will appoint a repuke is Leahy is selected as AG.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Well, several months ago I would have said John Edwards ...

:(
