Good riddance, about goddamn time, etc. Too bad the rumoured alternative [edit: or not, depending on whose unnamed sources you believe] isn’t much of an improvement.
Kyle has more, to which I’ll add this near-hysterical April 2007 WaPo op-ed (which clearly shows where that queasy feeling in Chertoff’s gut comes from) and this Nov 2006 speech Chertoff gave at the annual Federalist Society lawyers convention, in which the [edit: possibly] soon-to-be former DHS director (and Federalist Society alum) makes all too plain his far-right ideological pedigree.
Meet the new boss, etc…?

Trackback seems to be working – I was doing a lot of catch-up maintenance to this post. Glad to hear you are a fellow Who fan, Kyle! I spent a good ten minutes myself wind-milling and stomping.

Holy Crap.
I finally got a chance to skim through that hysterical op ed of yours…

Yeah, sometime him and Lieberman should trade spooky campfire stories about the Muslims hiding under the bed – take turns holding the flashlight, booga-booga voices, etc. WaPo can leave a Dictaphone running, transcribe, and release as a collaborative op-ed for Sunday Outlook.
Would save a lot of time and effort for all involved.
