A Modest Proposal

WashPo’s Andrew Cohen:
In my humble opinion, and recognizing that there may be a few other worthy candidates, there is only one person who perfectly currently fits the bill. He is a Republican and a Bush-appointee, but not a partisan or a crony or a hack like so many other current appointees. He has a sterling record of integrity and doggedness. He is obviously his own man and has shown a remarkable tendency during his career as a prosecutor for rankling partisans on both sides of the aisle. He is beholden to no one. His nomination to head the Justice Department by President Bush, and his ratification by the Congress, would send a clear message to the country that our government is willing to turn the page on the sordid recent history of the Office of Attorney General. His name? Patrick J. Fitzgerald.
I don’t want to see Fitzgerald dragged down into that morass of miscreants.
I haven’t had time to look at the Post yet today so this struck me as funny: this is exactly the thought I had last night.
Besides, that would take the pressure off Conrad Black
Nah, just appoint him as an independent prosecutor of all things Bushian.
Oh yeah, that’s gonna happen.
Heh.
I see that April Fool’s has come early this year.
Sure because he did such a great job of doing as little as possiable. NO!
