Janet Napolitano as Attorney General?

Apparently that is the rumor per Huffington Post.

Attorney General

Janet Napolitano seems in line for this key-ranking position, which became a controversial post under the stewardship of Alberto Gonzales. The current Governor of Arizona is close with Obama, having endorsed his candidacy early on. And sources say that she wouldn't mind the move to D.C. What may end up deciding the appointment, however, is that Eric Holder -- who served briefly as AG under Bill Clinton and headed Obama's vice presidential search committee -- doesn't want to go through the rigors of a confirmation process and could take himself out of the running.

What would that mean in terms of prosecutions of Bushies for crimes committed while in office including Rove's failure to appear before Congress? Any opinions?

1. We absolutely adore Janet here in Arizona. Everyone loves her. She is emminently qualified and

practical. An incredibly no-nonsense lady with a wicked sense of humor and a righteous sense of justice. She would absolutely ROCK as AG. I so hope this pans out...

You guys will LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

2. That's great news. Thanks.

3. Please, God, NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Arizona needs her to stop the RW Congresscritters there from passing all sorts of insane legislation (and lemme tell ya, they've tried). She governs AZ so well, and she even appeals to Repukes.

AZ can't lose this great woman! :cry:

5. I agree and do not want to lose her, however, her term limit is not too far off, and

I'd love to donate her to the cause for a bit.

4. The DOJ needs a complete clean out

EVERYONE APPOINTED BY GONZO MAY GO; But I do believe that President OBAMA will direct the AG he eventually appoints to vet and retain anyone who is highly qualified, even if they are Republican.

6. A little birdie whispered something to me about

Department of Homeland Security.
