illusory tenant said...: Funny. But I'm not sure "consolation prize" needs be factored into whatever evaluations are performed by commissions, Senators, the President, etc.; 9:01 AM, March 04, 2009
Anonymous said...: belling, predictably, was crying about how disastrous the appointment of butler would be. but, more interestingly, he also commented on the candidates for u.s. attorney and revealed that alex flynn had represented him in some cases. if i remember right, flynn used to work as a public defender. remember belling's "principled" refusal to support any judicial candidate with that background, because such a person does not share his "values?"; 7:15 PM, March 04, 2009
illusory tenant said...: That's funny too. Alex is a great guy.; 5:45 AM, March 05, 2009
