Is Congress worse than Bush?

Oh yes, we finally got rid of Attorney General Alberto "Geneva-Convention-is-Quaint" Gonzales. But now we learn that the Senate has confirmed Judge Michael Mukasey as Gonzales' successor.

What kind of credibility is owed to a judge who has presided over terrorism trials but claims in his confirmation hearing that he was not familiar with the now-famous form of torture known as water-boarding?

Bad enough that he (supposedly) would know less about water-boarding than the average couch potato news watcher. But he went on to assert he could not say that this gruesome technique is torture.

So now Mukasey is confirmed.

One more validation of the poll score that puts Congress way below Bush on the approval meter.
