So, we are to use Coulter to recommend Edwards? I think not.

I want nothing to do with that person who speaks and profits from speaking evil. But I agree with Edward's principle that we should not remain silent when faced with prejudice and hatred. I think that's leadership. Unfortunately, the press follows the poison arrows more than the progressive ones.

I was really looking to for Scheer's recommendation of JRE over others.

This is exactly what I like to see & with the right timing, from JRE:

"Today's news is only the latest and most disturbing sign of the politicization of justice under President Bush. From the abuse of investigative authority under the Patriot Act to the unconstitutional imprisonment of the Guantanamo Bay detainees and illegal torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Bagram Air Force Base, this president has consistently shown contempt for the rule of law.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales betrayed his public trust by playing politics when his job is to enforce and uphold the law. By violating that trust, he's done a great disservice to his office. If White House officials ordered this purge, he should have refused them. If they insisted, he should have resigned in protest. Attorney General Gonzales should certainly resign now."
