Who knew there were so many bad Homeland Security chief choices?

The Justice Department's Inspector General thinks Michael Chertoff acted capriciously in Bush's immigrant sweep. He also defended the Bush administration's practice of massive data-mining. And now he is Bush's choice to be Attorney General, or, as The Daily News points out, Chertoff is "Kerik without the sex."

Chertoff, you'll recall, also served as Special Counsel to the Whitewater Committee, just so you know he is well grounded in the practice of spending voluminous amounts of taxpayer money in order to cause needless damage.
