Mukasey nomination in trouble. Bush starts whining that it's not fair

The nomination of Michael Mukasey is running into very serious trouble. And, George Bush is cranky. He says it's not fair. And, guess what? Bush says we're at war. Therefore, no one can question anything Bush does and he should get what he wants:

“Judge Mukasey is not being treated fairly,” the president said, after taking the extraordinary step of inviting a group of reporters into the Oval Office to vent his feelings. Sitting behind his desk and leaning back in his chair, Mr. Bush said he was concerned that some people may have “lost sight of the fact that we’re at war.”

Pretty soon Bush will start weaving in Al Qaeda and September the 11th.

Bush just wants a another Attorney General who will let him break the law. Democratic Senators are standing up against torture. And it's key that the Senators on the Judiciary Committee are lining up against Mukasey. Note to Dianne Feinstein: Don't screw this one up.

Let's all remember what happen during the confirmation hearing for Mukasey in mid-October. On the first day of testimony, Mukasey wowed the Senators. On day two, Mukasey was a different person -- he became a loyal Bushie overnight. It was an overnight transformation. Waterboarding was probably involved.
