AG nominee

I'm pretty excited by Bush's choice of Mukasey because it shows that he's getting seriously humbled. As several talking heads on TV have noted, Bush has always chosen loyal insiders for these tops jobs, but Mulcacy is not. He's a choice that Democrats had already said they could live with and he has a reputation for indepence and (according to my friend Mary, a former JAG officer in the Air Force) adherence to the rule of law. Exactly the sort of person who should get into high level positions, regardless of which party is controlling the White House.
