Little Chucky Decides to Support Bush AG Nominee

Little Chucky Schumer, D-NY, announced that he is going to vote in favor of confirmation for President Bush's nominee for Attorney-General, Judge Michael Mukasey.

I suppose when you have been subject to ridicule and derision over proclaiming that 'the Reagan era is dead,' you have to do something to try to salvage what remaining credibility you have left, albeit minuscule.

Mukasey, a Reagan appointee who has broad support across the political spectrum as being a brilliant and effective jurist, had run into trouble with the Democrats on the Hill because of his unwillingness to say, one way or the other, whether or not waterboarding is 'torture.'

The Dean of the Congressional Trivial, Senator Patrick Leahy, stated he would vote against Mukasey for that reason.

But then, it was Little Chucky and the perennially ethically-challenged Dianne Feinstein to the rescue. Both stated that they would vote in favor of confirmation...odd, given their history over the past few years.

Yet when one takes into consideration that Congress stands at the all-time low approval rating of 11%, perhaps Little Chucky and Dianne suddenly got religion.
