The fellow who reportedly spent a good few minutes apiece reviewing death penalty cases for Governor Bush, advising Bush to fry people even when there were things like retardation or evidence of innocence, is gone. He won’t be missed by anyone except (maybe) Bush. One of the consistencies of the Bush administration has been the appointing of foxes to oversee henhouses, from oil industry lobbyists working at the EPA to former mining company emissaries overseeing mine "safety." So the big question is: Who will Bush appoint while Congress is in recess?
It has to be someone who has no respect for law, since they’ll be in charge of Justice. Incompetence a plus. So here is a top-3 list for your consideration, Mr. Bush:
3) Jeb Bush. Hey, he had your back in Florida, and Poppy Bush always thought he’d make good someday. This could fast-track him to the White House!
2) George W. Bush. Here’s your ticket out of the presidency! Just demote yourself! They’re bound to approve that one.
1) Fred Thompson. He’s on Law and Order, so we know he’s into the law and stuff. And he might be the next president! He’d probably be cool to hang out with, kind of like you were on TV with him. Perfect.
