From Washington post:
President Bush is expected to choose a replacement for Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales by the middle of next week, and former solicitor general Theodore B. Olson has emerged as one of the leading contenders for the job, according to sources inside and outside the government who are familiar with White House deliberations.
Other candidates still in the running include former deputy attorney general George J. Terwilliger III and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Laurence H. Silberman, according to the sources, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the discussions.
Others whose names continue to be mentioned in congressional and political circles include Pepsico general counsel Larry D. Thompson, a former deputy attorney general; Solicitor General Paul D. Clement; and Verizon general counsel William P. Barr, who served as attorney general for Bush's father. A person close to Barr said yesterday, however, that he does not appear to be on the short list of candidates now being considered.

Now I think the Gerbil might nominate Scooter Libby as AG. Stop laughing it could happen. Yes we know Libby is a convicted felon but in this Administration their all crooks so why not. Libby needs a job and is known to follow directions given by President Cheney so much so that he would lie under oath.
Now this is for Mr. Kitty
Terwilliger is a name on the Simpson show and he's a convicted criminal without a face. I thought I heard that name before and then it was on the Simpson show last night.
his brain isn't missing, it's just that it has been pickled to infinity and beyond.
LMAO! You're bad, Markie. And don't bag my pic. We know that the Gerbil's brain size is a BB. ;-)
Sideshow Bob Terwilliger?
