Attorney General Mukasey has ordered that the Justice Department not investigate whether officials of the Bush Administration has committed the crime of contempt of Congress.
Yeah. I'm sure he deliberated about that for maybe all of a yoctosecond. That's like asking Frank Nitti to investigate whether Al Capone had anything to do with the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
On one hand, I have a degree of sympathy for Mukasey. He went from being a widely respected federal judge to being a political hack in a very short time. If "the 100 Yard Transition to Bush Lackey" were an Olympic event, he'd be a medal contender. He destroyed a lifetime's reputation in a matter of months. That is a tragedy worthy of a modern-day Shakespearian play.
On the other hand, he had to know what he was getting into. In the words of the theme song to the old "Super Chicken" cartoons, he knew the job was like this when he took it.
Yeah, no sympathy here for Mukasey, who is going to go down in the history of the Bush Administration as "Alberto the Second."
