Can anyone who voted for Mukasey really think they were going to get a different kind of answer? As soon as he was confirmed I knew that he'd turn into a BushCo apologist. Well, he can get in line for the Hague, right behind Rummy, Rove, Cheney and W.
Rudi, I think I speak for many on the left: when I heard that you've thrown in the towel, I was devastated. Who will pepper our airwaves with smug appearances with the Real Santa? Who will snap at the press like a starving Rottweiler? Who will wag his finger and remind us of 911 every thirty seconds until Election Day? Who will lecture us of the foolishness of the "Carter/Clinton" model of getting early primary victories? Who will spend a fortune on NH only to run away when the polls tanked and pretend it was all part of a master strategy? Who will giggle for 30 minutes like a slightly intoxicated freshman on Meet The Press? McCain must be so proud to have the endorsement of this washed-up tyrant with nowhere else to go. I hope he makes it onto the ticket as Veep so we can bash him some more in the fall.
And so John Edwards (D-Plastic) has quit as well. I liked many of the views he espoused, especially the concern for poverty-stricken Americans, but ultimately he was not convincing to the voters. Like the old joke goes: If he'd learned how to fake sincerity he'd be all set.
