Looks like the US Attorney Scandal just got Local...

Interesting news.

From WISCTV:
Milwaukee U.S. Attorney To Be Interviewed In Attorney Probe
Interviews Were Requested By House Committee


MILWAUKEE -- A U.S. House committee looking into the recent firings of eight federal prosecutors listed U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic of Milwaukee among the additional individuals that it wants to interview as part of the probe.

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers sent the request to Acting Assistant Attorney General Richard Hertling, asking to interview them "on a voluntary basis" regarding the firings.

Biskupic, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said over the weekend that he had been told his name was on a list of targeted prosecutors whose performance and loyalty to Bush were questioned.


Things aren't looking good for Bush on this front. He should try to get people thinking he's Presidential in some other way. :insert sarcasm: Maybe he'll get lucky and another national tragedy like the Virginia Tech shootings will occur to help boost his popularity ratings again.

According to CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, he does well in these. :shakes head in disbelief:

Well, except when he waits FOUR DAYS to address those poor Katrina victims and then took a nice little photo op tour while there. Not to mention the inaction there. New Orleans has still not recovered and FEMA has messed up in every way possible, including evicting people from their trailers and giving them no place to live to letting food that was meant for relief spoil recently.

And oh yeah he did squander the World's goodwill after 9/11 so standing on that rubble and declaring war against al-Qaeda didn't help unify anyone since they were already unified previously and it ended up declaring a war that he never actually ended up carrying out correctly as Osama Bin Laden is still roaming free..

Okay so how exactly are these good moments for him?
