Rude Friend?

So Mister Bush has nominated as Attorney General a retired jurist pre-approved by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and obviously qualified for the job in a way that Alberto Gonzales never even approached. In other words, not for Bush’s inner coven.

There’s even been some grumbling by far-right conservatives. Hey, if Chuck Schumer likes the guy, there has to be something wrong with him. Perhaps in an attempt to mollify that nutbag contingent, the Wall Street Journal has published “Seven Things to Know About Michael Mukasey” but the effect on the rest of us may not be so reassuring.

For example, he’s so close to Rudy Giuliani that Marc Mukasey, works for the firm of Bracewell & Giuliani.

As for Rudy himself, MoveOn has his number.
