Mukasey

Well, the Dems caved on demanding documents from the White House before holding hearings on Attorney General nominee Mukasey, so the hearings have begun.

He's saying all the right things. But then they always do. I don't think anyone will know anything real about this guy until he's in office. What we do know is the guy was acceptable to Bush, which suggests that there's a three-card-monty game going on in front of the Senate.

Count me as skeptical. January 2009 can't come soon enough.
