Something Missing?

The Anchoress quotes her reader Gary S., who has come up with a plausible path to victory for McCain: "Promise the American people that if he is elected, he will appoint Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General and his first order of business will be to investigate, indict and prosecute all those involved in any wrong doing in the sub-prime mortgage debacle, from Wall Street, to K Street to Main Street." Surely there is one more street that ought to be on the list: North Capitol Street, where the U.S. Congress is located. I don't know whether Senators and Congressmen can be indicted for their actions in this mess, but they can surely be investigated, shamed, and encouraged to resign and go into another line of work (and I don't mean lobbying).

Which reminds me: William Ayers would be a lot more tolerable if he had become a stationery salesman, like Alger Hiss, instead of a professor.
