Oh, right

I was working off the $40,000 signing bonus for the troops they can't recruit either, but then the troops are little people, right? What was I thinking...

Republicans don't consider $40,000 to be real money.

It'd have to be at least a hundred grand signing bonus to entice them.

Piece of cake. Just find

Piece of cake. Just find the saddest, most pathetic simulacrum of a mediocrity, somebody whose sole security and livelihood is his ability to grovel and eat shit, somebody who actually admires AG AG for his Stepnfetchit routine. It's never failed for them yet, as there's no shortage of suitable GOP toadies if you lower the standards. Think Regent.

The background

TPM:

Last week, we learned that prosecutor purge scandal had wreaked so much havoc at the Justice Department that no one wants to apply to replace Paul McNulty as the Deputy Attorney General. ("I'd rather trade places with Jose Padilla," joked Viet Dinh, a former senior Justice official under then-Attorney General John Ashcroft.)

This week, we learn that no one wants to be a Bush-appointed U.S. Attorney, either.

Maybe if we started trolling the Christianist Academies. Hey, some of the high schoolers are doing great in the NBA!
