Suppressing the Vote
Governor Dean sat down with Tavis Smiley last night, and sunny flagged down one key part of the interview where "he talked about the attorneys being fired for not going along with suppressing the vote."
The bogus voter fraud allegations are what, as Josh Marshall often reminds us, this whole Justice Department scandal is all about. Here's the exchange from the show last night:
Tavis Smiley: The Democrats did not succeed depending on how one defines success, the measure did not pass but Chuck Schumer from New York says the measure was successful because the majority of the Senate voted, supported that no-confidence vote against the Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The president is still standing firm behind his man.
Gov. Dean: This president is more dishonest than Richard Nixon. He is using the Justice Department to suppress the vote. The attorneys were fired because they didn't do a good enough job at suppressing the vote. It is outrageous. In fact, one of them did his job well enough he was investigating complaints about the Republican's suppression to vote. The Justice Department is becoming a laughingstock and George Bush makes Richard Nixon look like an honest man. He really does. What's going on is the disgrace. To use the Justice Department, which is to be an independent force in the enforcement of justice in America, to suppress the vote of your opponents is a disgrace and Alberto Gonzales should not be in office.
