Ummm - let's wait on this: (5.00 / 1) (#1)

Mukasey will only serve for about 15 months. Whoever is elected in 2009 will appoint a new Attorney General.

Rudy gets elected, Mukasey keeps the job without a new confirmation hearing.

Who better to be the AG in a Rudy admin, than his close friend and campaign's lawyer?

Example - AG Richard Thornbugh (none / 0) (#5)

George H.W. Bush kept Reagan's AG Dick Thornburgh when he was elected.

Let's hope Jeralyn is psychic and knows a Dem will be elected in 11/08.

he'd be more likely to put Mukasey on the Supreme Court. Ted Olson, too. Maybe that's why both were judicial advisors to his campaign in the first place -- hoping for the spot in the event Rudy won.

I'm not willing to trust any of them (none / 0) (#8)

anywhere near a position of responsibility or power.

I would place a hold on the nomination and tell my senatorial colleagues to pound sand if they didn't like it.
