Maybe this is true ... but if not, we're in the gutter now: Rush Limbaugh is declaring that Tom Kean "quietly" asked Jamie Gorelick to resign, a request she refused. I learn this from Free Republic; response #22 in the link says that Rush's source is this article from The American Spectator (yes, it's still around, still stinking up the joint).

The Spectator story is just too perfect: Kean is a Republican and a moderate, so he's only mildly culpable -- he won't give her the boot, but he did ask her to go. And Gorelick's sinister motives are attested to by "former Clinton staffers":

"She's on that commission for a reason, and it isn't because of her brilliant legal mind," says a former DNC and Clinton White House staffer. "She's there to make sure Bush and his team look as bad as possible and to protect the Clintons and Reno."

(Yeah -- if a reporter from The American Spectator called you up and asked you about Gorelick, and you were a "former DNC and Clinton White House staffer," isn't that exactly what you'd say? While rubbing your hands together in a sinister fashion as you watched a cauldron of witches' brew bubble?)
