Latest This Modern World

Tom Tomorrow really hit the nail on the head this week. Congressional Democrats, specifically in the Senate, are some of the most unprincipled elected leaders I have ever seen. Not only have they done nothing about funding the war in Iraq, but they just managed to confirm our new attorney general, Michael Mukasey, who gave some truly disturbing answers about torture during his confirmation hearings.

How high are my hopes for our new attorney general? About as hight as a snake's belly. Bonus: Mukasey has very close ties to Rudy Giuliani. Although our new AG has promised to recuse himself from any cases involving Giuliani or Rudy's corrupt partner and federally indicted boot licker, Bernie Kerkik.

Proof positive that it's a small world: According to the New York Post, our new AG's son, Marc Mukasey, has been assigned by Giuliani's campaign to block Bernie Kerik's legal defense team from interviewing witnesses that might assist his defense. Why am I not surprised?
