Merely insane will be seen as a compromise

Bionic Octopus sees the song and dance going on about the Supreme Court nomination. The loony right demands the moon and the stars, claiming that a neanderthal like Gonzales isn't conservative enough. The Dems can then beg aWol not to give in to the lunatics, and instead nominate a "moderate" like Señor Torture himself, Alberto Gonzales. Bionic Octopus (which I'll have to admit is a much cooler name for a blog than "Bob's Links and Rants") notes that Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) is already falling all over himself to jump into this trap.
