Funny stuff from ex-doorwalker Cole (there’s nothing that approaches the hate of a scorned lover):

A lot of things can be said about this scandal, but the notion that the Democrats might come out looking the worst is a particularly silly one (we’ll chalk it up to wishful thinking).

How does one tell one shit-stained wretch from another one? I imagine you have to look really close.

First sentence of the supporting blockquote from a NYT article that no one will ever read kinda did make me giggle:

United States attorneys have a long history of being insulated from politics.

Fortunately for me, I’ve known a few US Attorneys, and they’re about as “insulated” as that shed in the backyard where you stow your post-hole digger. To hear them tell it from their own mouths, that is…not for a story in a newspaper. Every election is fretting time — serious career blues. Same thing holds true, down through all the various sizes of government teats, too.

Based on my two-person poll, America thinks this: they’re freaking enormously respected lawyers, and they’ll most likely die on beds that Louis XIV would envy. Their great-grandkids will be wiping their…hands with silk kitchen towels. Ideally, I hope for better, but jeez louise, America is no danger from a bag full of cashiered government lawyers. Change the sheets, lady, and go back to sleep.
