It doesn't exists. Human beings tend to crucify any perfect beings that walk the Earth. These confirmation hearings are run by people who probably wouldn't pass them anyway. What the hearings are good for is bringing out the &amp;quot;best&amp;quot; people to do a job. Sometimes the best liars and best crooks get the job, but nothings perfect.</description></item><item><title>Transition: Confirmation week</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/12/1741355.aspx#1741764</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jan 2009 17:45:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1741764</guid><dc:creator>Chris - Wheaton Ill.</dc:creator><description>Mike T.

The only reason republicans don't want him is his history of Prosecuting corrupt politicians – from both sides of the aisle and he is taking over the investigation of all of Bush’s criminal gang. Rove is running scared.</description></item><item><title>Transition: Confirmation week</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/12/1741355.aspx#1741866</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:42:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1741866</guid><dc:creator>eagle1776</dc:creator><description>In her AIDS-scarred South African township, Sweetness Mzolisa leads a chorus of praise for George W.

How many things has he screwed up that will counter the good done in South Africa? Like the yin and yang that keep nature balanced there is a little yin in the yang and a little yang in the yin. Nothing to worry about or be excited over. Bush will go down in history as the worst US President ever. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for Eric Holder, there is no evidence he is corrupt. Just because he is from Chicago doesn't make him any more corrupt than Mayor Newsome of San Francisco is gay. Neither is true. Newsome isn't gay and Holder, as far as we know, isn't corrupt. Mukasey was the best AG of the Bushies. The other two were as corrupt as they come. Open your eyes and minds to reality. It is there, you just gotta look for it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If, Holder, or anyone in the Obama Adminstration tries to pull the crap that the Bushies did they should suffer the same fate as those in the Bush Administration did. These people work for us not the other way around. I don't care party affiliation or anything else. </description></item></channel></rss>
