A Good Idea

The punch line to the joke "What are 500 lawyers at the bottom of a swimming pool?" is what I think about Musing's musings's idea for Alberto Gonzalez's confirmation hearing--for the few of y'all reading this who might not be aware, Gonzalez helped draft the memos that offered the opinion that torture wasn't really torture, per se:

Perhaps, during his confirmation hearings for the new post, Mr. Gonzalez could volunteer to subject himself to some of the techniques he argued were perfectly legal to use on prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wonder if his opinion as to whether or not those techniques constitute torture would then change.

And if somehow Gonzalez doesn't make it to the top post at Justice, then he could perhaps find a home here in Louisiana, where, as I understand it, the casino in New Orleans was approved by saying gambling wasn't gambling.

But I still wish Dubya had nominated Neil...
