Schumer is really begining to grate my arse.

“A New York senator is demanding a retraction from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on behalf of New Mexico’s former U.S. attorney, who was fired along with seven other prosecutors last year.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote Gonzales on Friday demanding that the attorney general clear David Iglesias’ name. Schumer’s letter came the day after Gonzales’ former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, testified before Congress that in hindsight, he would not have recommended Iglesias for dismissal.

Sampson orchestrated the firings for department officials as part of a plan to replace some prosecutors in President Bush’s second term. He added Iglesias’ name late in the process but on Thursday said he couldn’t remember exactly why.

“In light of these startling admissions by your former chief of staff, it is imperative that you restore Mr. Iglesias’ tarnished reputation by confirming that his performance as a U.S. attorney did not warrant dismissal,” Schumer wrote to Gonzales.

Iglesias has repeatedly said that he wants a written retraction from the Justice Department stating that performance had nothing to do with his dismissal.

“I’m deeply grateful to Senator Schumer for writing the letter to Mr. Gonzales,” Iglesias said in an interview Friday. “I hope after reviewing Mr. Sampson’s testimony, the Justice Department does the right thing.”

In his letter, Schumer urged Gonzales to clarify immediately that Iglesias should not have been fired “in order to clear the name of this dedicated public servant.”

First, Mr. Plumber shouldn’t be writing letter to anyone since he has this thing called a HUGH CONFLICT OF INTEREST in this entire affair. Far be it for Mr. Microphone (look at me I’m talking!) to not know what demanding others to recuse themselves for such a conflict of interest.

Regardless of Sampson’s testimony there is much more we haven’t heard about Iglesias and his inaction in investigated clear cases of democratic voter fraud in New Mexico, as well as losing a huge case against

Therefore, let’s hold off on that letter until we know more about Mr. Iglesias’s true record.
