Hope he gets it. Always nice to have Arkie connections in high places. (Even in the white house whether you like the person or not).

Oh please...just what the country doesn't need: Another ineffective partisan who's never actually produced anything outside of political rhetoric.

Asa? Of Bob Jones University fame?

Hahahahahahhahahahahahaha.

Gotta have a Miller on that one.

Zelda:
You must have misread the post - this as about Asa, not Hillary.

I peed just a little last night when Olbermann mentioned Asa's name. I thought we were finished with him? On the other hand, it might do us all some good if Asa went thru 3 weeks of grilling and inspection by Congress. Turn over every little Asa rock and see what's lurking underneath.

Maybe then Robbyn Tumey's lawyer could finally get his hands on a big pile of Asa's email and we'd see if the Hutchinson family called down the hounds from hell to keep Robbyn from running for office in Benton County. A confirmation hearing would shine the light on Asa's defense department consulting. It would illuminate the inner workings of Asa's penny stock empire. Bush will attempt to fill Gonzo's seat with another party hack and Asa beats Chertoff by a country mile.

We'll never get a fair shake as long as Cheney is pulling the strings....so why not have Asa? Or Mark Pryor? Or John Boozman? Any puppet will do since the chance of an honest person being nominated for the job is zero. Go Asa! Come on confirmation hearings!

Oh please, purty-please with sugar on top let Asa! be in the running for AG. I miss him being in a spotlight.

Yeah, Zelda. Jackass, uh, I mean Donkey, is right. Asa accomplished something -- just ask all those cancer patients. If he gets to be AG, we'll soon learn there was a heretofore undisclosed provision in the Patriot Act authorizing him to round up everybody with cancer who has ever, is now, intends to in the future or even has thought about using pot to ease their nausea and pain, and ship them off to Guantanamo. Brings a whole new meaning to this War on Cancer we've been hearing so much about the past few days.

DBI

Asa was confirmed by the Senate when he took the DEA job. No more secets than any other politicial or Ft. Smith attorney.

But that DEA job was a long time ago......let's open the books and see what Asa's been doing the last 5 or 6 years. If he's clean as a dog's hind leg.......let him be crowned king of kings, AG and whatever else. I look forward to Asa's next confirmation hearing. Honest. I really do.

Being confirmed for DEA chief is a far cry from being confirmed as Attorney General of the United States.

DBI and Vegan said it all. Asa is totalitarian enough to please Darth Cheney. But does he want to give up that lucrative government contracting-consulting bidness long enough to serve the WORSE PRESIDENT EVER ? Doubtful. He may be a loser but I doubt he's that much of a loser.
