Bush Nominates Clinton Nemesis To Homeland Security
2005-01-11
Just days after NEWSWEEK revealed the relationship between President Bush and President Clinton has "grown surprisingly warm and personal," a former federal prosecutor who played a prominent role in the Senate's Whitewater investigation has been picked by Bush to head Homeland Security! Michael Chertoff was chief Republican counsel to the famed Senate committee delving into former President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton's Arkansas business dealings. Mrs. Clinton, now a senator representing New York, will be among those considering Chertoff's nomination, which must be confirmed by the Senate.
That could be fun, but she won't bring it up.
Chertoff headed the Justice Department's criminal division from 2001 to 2003, where he played a central role in the nation's legal response to the Sept. 11 attacks.

#9  I just love the way "Clinton nemesis" sounds. Can we all say Clinton nemesis together?

#8  I don't understand. This guy was Senate counsel, and it was Republicans in the Senate who dropped the ball re: the impeachment hearings.

So if Hillary mad at him for participating, or for dropping the ball and letting her cheating husband get away with it?

I really don't understand why she stayed with him.

#2  When Chertoff was confirmed for a Circuit Court position, the vote was 88 - 1. Guess who the "1" was...

#1  *snicker* as I've always said... if your opponent suddenly grows suprisingly warm and personal, chances are he's feeling particularly jovial because he got a personal surprise coming your way....

or was it, beware of greeks bearing gifts?
