A menacing (petulant)letter sent by the Department of Fraud, eh? I've been warned against the over-use of the term "Kafkaesque," but that sure seems Kafkaesque to me. What might be needed is an old-fashioned purge of the entire Washington office of the DOJ. A few good people might be sacrificed among the scores of scoundrels, but how else do you solve the problem of the weird turn that the DOJ has taken in the last few years?
In a world where the practice of journalism is to help turn the lights off, we enter the magical world of Goodnight, Moon. The lights fade and all becomes quiet. We entertain ourselves by locating the moon and mouse on each page, our tribute to investigation. We are no longer seeking information. We only want to go to sleep. And the light of the moon is a smiling Xanax poster.
You smart guys can squabble about who would be a better choice, Kagan or Sotomayor, and I am of the opinion that a woman should be chosen this time around, but I can't help but think Al Gore is the best choice.
The look on Scalia's face the first time the Court was in session would be worth the postcard stamp. Gore would be a gadfly by his mere presence. And, I think Gore would be a helluva a good judge.
Of course, he'd probably decline. But what a pretty picture it would be.
