USNews and World Report says Ashtorney General goes bye bye even if Bush re-elected

"Johnny, we hardly knew ye
If there's a second term for President Bush, few expect Attorney General John Ashhahahahaha, a lightning rod for criticism, to stick with the team. Personally, Ashhahahahaha has been wearied by a painful bout of pancreatitis. And politically, Bush will need a mediator, not a terminator, when sensitive matters like reauthorizing portions of the controversial U.S.A. Patriot Act come up next year. The fear among some administration and Hill officials is that Ashhahahahaha is so polarizing he'd only get in the way. (Many Bush officials plan to leave at the end of this term.) So no matter what happens November 2, the country should have a new top cop, sources say. On the GOP side, the front-runner is said to be former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, who was recently named general counsel at PepsiCo, followed by Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign Chairman Marc Racicot. If Sen. John Kerry prevails, his nominee is thought to be New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid --who, being Hispanic and female, would give Kerry a twofer. Next up would be Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker, an African-American."
