* New U.S. Attorneys have been named for New York and New Jersey. I suggest laid off associates start networking with these guys now. Remember, today’s U.S. Attorneys are tomorrow’s rainmakers. [City Room]
* Isn’t being forced to watch Maury Povich a clear violation of the 8th Amendment? I don’t mean liberal “whaaa, when I go to prison, sometimes they give me bad touches” violation. I mean a straight up, dress you in a bonnet and make you watch surveillance DVDs of your mom having sex with your stepdad, violation of the 8th Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

Are you sure that picture is Maury? Looks like Craig Ferguson to me.
Maury is an embarrassement to a serious journalist like Connie Chung. She must never go anywhere in public with him.
Maury Povich looks like an older Paul Atreides. Hah, beat you to it, Dune troll!
Stephen Dent sounds a little like the Baron Vladimir Harkonon.
Maury for SCOTUS
Actually number 5, the older Paul Atreides is a sand worm. Duh!
5 - You are NOT THE FATHER!
Elie, where is your usual reference to the latest headline relating to Obama? C'mon, he just reaffirmed use of the military commission tribunals for Gitmo suspects!
Are you omitting it because
- it actually has something to do with the law, and that's just not the sort of thing you blog about? or
- some other reason?
Hmmmmmmmmm
Fishman is an outstanding choice for US Attorney. Thanks for the news.
2010 Vault Rankings. When did they go to print? Will they reflect the firms' responses to the financial crisis? Or did they go to print too early for that? No one seems to know.
Elie, die in a fire. You use this site as your own personal pulpit for your insipid tripe about identity politics every other day. Yet now you malign prisoners, a population that actually is oppressed in today's America, making light of prison rape, a human rights issue the rest of the world recognizes but America continues to be willfully blind to.
You are everything that's wrong with the progressive left in the United States.
"New U.S. Attorneys have been named for New York and New Jersey."
WHAT, NO INVESTIGATIONS???
Did Obama just fire the old US Attorneys for political reasons?
Where is the outrage? Where are the rabid media members? Where are the investigation?
Oh wait, I forgot for a second there, US Attorneys can be fired and hired at the whim of the President. No reasons at all needed. None whatsoever. Political, non-political, don't like their hair color, don't like their name, any reason or no reason at all.
Good luck to the new US Attorneys and best wishes to the former Us Attorneys. Tough job, with not much pay and the hope of future opportunities.
thanks for this
