SEND HIM TO SYRIA and see how sunshiney he is about torture.

Alberto Gonzales.

Ick.

And I note that the latter link concludes, “Senate Democrats are expected to press for full disclosures on these and related matters. But privately, even they acknowledge his confirmation is all but assured.”

OK, now, why? Look, the headlines Monday were all like, “Arlen Specter in trouble!”, and as far as I can tell that was an entirely consciously-ginned-up (yay! this is the kind of gin I like!) controversy. If Kathryn Lopez can do it, why can’t actual Democratic congresscreeps? Or, you know, perhaps a Republican. Chris Cox? Bueller? Bueller? WRITE AND CALL! Andale, andale, arriba arriba! (You knew I would go there.)

Or, if you think I’m bugging, tell me why. But from what I’ve read about this dude, including the words of his supporters (whose basic line seems to be: “meh”), no, I think he’s bad news. We can do bettah!

If you don’t like the news, make some of your own.
