God bless you, Mr. Mukasey


Nobody will ever confuse you with Elliott Rosewater and I pray that the late, great Kurt Vonnegut Jr. will forgive me for hailing you as he did his main character in his 1965 novel. We all know where you stand on waterboarding (and I will not insult my reading public, as the media deems necessary, by defining it here). Whatever Lord W. Bush declares is where you stand, and that is understandable. You cannot be accused of going against your master if you do not answer the question. This is old news, so why do I bring it up? Because today it was announced that the former secretary of "Homeland Security", Tom Ridge, as well as other former administration officials had announced that they DO believe that it is torture. How did you, Mr. Mukasey, address this statement? By saying, "that unlike me they are not Attorney General."

Nobody could have put it better. You, like everyone in your administration, are above the law. You will not be legally responsible for your actions. You, in all your collective wisdom, know far more than we, the patriotic American public. After all, "WE" "elected" your ilk TWICE.

So, just like your master, ENJOY YOUR POWER.

Your days are numbered, and, if we can't beat you, at least we won't have to hear from the likes of you for another 8 years.
