I am absolutely stunned to find myself reporting that California's distinguished U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein has so little character and intellectual consistency that she would try to score cheap political points by pretending to defend somebody that she herself had attacked. In 2006, Dianne Feinstein complained vociferously about US Attorney Carol Lam's lack of prosecutions for border violations. There is extensive, EXTENSIVE documentation that concerns about that aspect of Lam's performance led directly to the decision to include her among the USAs to be replaced. Yet now Feinstein is, as I write this, hectoring Attorney General Alberto Gonzales about the decision to replace Lam, while she (Feinstein) offers a strong defense of Lam's performance. Unbelievable, or at least it would be unbelievable if it weren't so predictable coming from the Senate Judiciary Committee Dems. Have they NO shame? Feinstein apparently wanted Lam fired, or at least heavily pressured...but now she complains that Lam was fired. Hypocrisy, thy initials are D and F.
