Senator: WH Will Seek Hill OK for New U.S. Attorney
The White House is working with New Mexico's home-state GOP senator to pick its next U.S. attorney for that state, and is expected to submit their candidate for Senate approval, instead of unilaterally appointing him to an indefinite "interim" term.
"Yes," Matt Letourneau, a spokesman for New Mexico Sen. Pete Domenici (R), told me when I asked him if his boss expected the White House to follow the official nomination process. "In our case there will not be an interim U.S. Attorney." He confirmed that the White House had asked Domenici to provide a list of names to consider for the position.
What's more, he said he expected the White House to follow Domenici's advice in selecting his state's next top prosecutor, instead of their own favorite. "They will nominate one of the four" candidates Domenici submitted, Letourneau said. "They didn't guarantee us, but we have no reason to think they won't."

Hey Ted...Ted Stevens..how come Bush dissed you and appointed Nelson Cohen in Alaska over your very vocal objections? Rumor has it he is up here to go after you Ted and your son Ben Stevens. Ben's office was trashed right before he arrived up here by the FBI. Or, is it all just a ruse...is he really here to make sure none of the Republican big guys gets snared in the Alaska State Representatives raids the FBI is doing?
I guess Domenici has more juice with the Whitehouse then the three from Alaska...Don "Bridge to No Where" Young, Lisa "My Daddy Got Me This Job" Murkowski, and the powerless little guy Stevens. Who would have thought that from their self promoting proclamations?
I am stunned, just stunned.

Tomorrow morning we NEED to wake up and write our Congress folk and Senators . . . and 'suggest' that they hire one or more of the recently ousted local AG types to staff the investigatory arms of their respective committees.
The recruitment letter could read:
Hey! PO'd that you got termed for doing your job in an effective manner . . . Come apply your skills looking into the misdeeds of the idiot that tossed your posterior padded region out . . .
Bonus: The House & Senate gets talented folk to do their good work.
Bonus II: El Presidente Whore-for-Hay de Shrub gets b*-slapped for mistreating the help AND creating a talent pool for Congress to draw upon . . .
Bonus III: Good folk get good paying jobs that can make a real difference.
Sleep well tonight, my minions . . . Type well tomorrow.

Is he any relation to those other Letourneaus--you know, the pedophile ex-state Republican Chairman and his teacher daughter who simply could not keep her hands off an eighth-grader?
