A special prosecutor for the Hsu case?
I certainly hope Hugh Hewitt's suggestion that the Justice Department appoint a special prosecutor for the Hsu case is tongue-in-cheek. The country, our government, and even the Republican Party in the long run will be better off if we never appoint another "special" prosecutor. I'd much prefer to live with some corruption in campaign finance -- as we have, by the way, for the entire history of the Republic -- than to launch another of these media circuses masquerading as "justice."
Nobody in their right mind would serve in government. One of the main reasons is that the partisans of both parties and the media have decided that virtually anything that is not absolutely transparent and on the up-and-up is, or ought to be, a crime. That is a great shame.

While I completely agree with you, I think we all will sadly admit a special prosecutor is inevitable with the Clintons anywhere near the White House. We might as well get started early.

What you suggest is like diplomacy with AQ! Schumer, Biden, Reid, Pelosi will appoint a special prosecutor for every delusional leftist thought. Call for impeachment for every delusional dream. At least our special prosecutions will have results. After all, was Libby the target, or was Bush, Rove, Cheney?

Any special prosecutor appointed to this case will be slimed unmercifully by the press as a partisan political hack interested only in attacking the Clintons, can’t we just move on, after all it’s only a few tens of millions of dollars stolen from rich people and donated to a few political candidates who’s political party cannot be printed in synchronization with a few little-known minor people like Lilian Vernon and its all a distraction by the administration to keep us from looking at how they are losing in Iraq despite their desperate attempts to put a positive spin…
With that one statement, I’ve just saved an hour of reading the Daily KOS. You’re welcome.
