For all of you who are fretting over the Daschle crash-and-burn, among others: Please, take a deep breath, and take the long view.
Under Bush, we had a Justice Department that was "justice" only in name. It was egregiously corrupted by politics and prejudice — and condoned behavior that not only violated American principles, but denigrated the reputation of the United States abroad.
We cats bemoaned these developments, because we'd visited DOJ in the days of Janet Reno, history's most incorruptible Attorney General. The portrait over Janet's office mantel was Robert F. Kennedy's. We felt good, knowing it was there. But, we thought, surely that portrait had been consigned to the DOJ basement in the reigns of Ashcroft, Gonzales and Mukasey.
Well, My Cats fans — we are happy to report that the RFK portrait IS BACK! Check out this image from Eric Holder's swearing in.
Gee, it's good to know that the right people are in charge again.
