MICHAEL MUKASEY TO BE ATTORNEY GENERAL....AND CONSERVATIVES SHOULD BE HAPPY

Judge Mukasey, a retired Federal judge is said to be the number one choice of President Bush to fill the position of Attorney General. According to William Kristol, writing in the Weekly Standard, the President may announce the nomination as early as Monday. I think, despite Mr. Kristol's argument that conservatives should be happy, that isn't going to happen, especially once they find out that Judge Mukasey's home state Senator, Chuck Schumer has praised him.
