The Other Shoe (Finally) Drops
by matttbastard
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…?

Update: Always bet on black?

You just had to put a Who video in there and just render me useless for ten minutes, didn’t ya?
Oh hai, u should go double check your comment at Comments… I think you tried a link or trackback but the link wasn’t working or something, not sure.
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…
He should so totally be our new AG… I’m tellin ya.
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.
