Gorelick as Obama's AG?

It certainly would be fun if Obama named Jamie Gorelick as attorney general, which is rumored to be the case (and as I mentioned here in the past). Gorelick was Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae during its accounting fraud scandal (she made about $25 million for it). She also helped create the "intelligence wall" that was a big factor in the 9/11 attacks (though she forgot to mention this when she was appointed to the 911 Commission). She defended Duke University when three lacrosse students were falsely charged with rape. And she helped screw up the Oklahoma City bombing investigation. She was #2 in the Clinton Justice Department.

No hope, no change, but would still be fun to watch.
