"Intelligence Wall Gorelick" for Attorney General? [Gregory S. McNeal]
Ann Althouse highlights a New York Times story flagging Jamie Gorelick as a potential Attorney General pick. Readers will recall that Gorelick's claims to fame are: solidifying the intelligence wall that prevented the intelligence community from talking with criminal investigators; and sitting on the board of Fannie Mae right up until its $200 billion collapse.
Of course, as Althouse notices, the Times focuses merely on "conservative bloggers" (am I one?) who have "already begun trying to derail Ms. Gorelick’s possible nomination as attorney general."
Althouse's best point: "Unbelievably ponderous baggage! Oh, but conservatives have attacked her. Does that somehow cancel the baggage? A better question: Why haven't liberals attacked her?"
