everyone knows what that man stands for: torture and end runs around the constitution.

also, he is the most boring read ever. He makes Rick Santorum look like the second coming of Hemingway.

and yes, like Doug, i’d love to see John Yoo publicly humiliated. And waterboarded if possible, since that’s not torture in his book.

About how I kinda am curious to read a column a person like that may write. But not curious enough to pay for it. Eh, he can always write for the Drudge Report or something.

Simply demonstrating for Yoo’s ouster – because he is an ideological cipher – strikes me as a sort of group whine-in; ie., a collective, “We’re gonna hold our breath until we get what suits us.” – which, of course, is also an inherent, albeit, frequently unproductive, right. But to my knowledge, Yoo has yet to be convicted (has he, in fact, even been formally accused?) of any criminal behavior, so – and you may call me an old fashioned historical romantic, here – no matter how much I would love to see him (as well as Butterball Boss Tierny), unemployed, I would much prefer to see Yoo publicly ridiculed trying to defend his ethically groundless beliefs, as opposed to his being forced out of his job, then sneaking off quietly into the night.
