The way you ride the trail is what counts

“Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin’ until then…”

On the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales? Two words: Ted Olson. I realize he’s probably busy with the Giuliani campaign right now, so I would understand if he passed up this opportunity if it were offered.

Truth be told, I would hope that a President Giuliani would nominate Olson for AG… or, if there’s an opening, a spot on the Supreme Court. (Whoa — I just felt a weird twinge back there. I think if I had a tail it would be wagging right now.)

Whenever there’s a job opening in D.C. the first name that pops into my head is Ted Olson. Sure, sometimes it sounds like John Bolton or a combination of the two: Ted Bolton! John Olson!

But for now, Solicitor General Paul Clement – who served as deputy to his predecessor, Ted Olson – should be just fine. I tell you, this flutter of recent activity in the administration is just exhilarating. One gets the feeling that this Lame Duck isn’t really all that lame, after all.

Oh — and there’s that twinge again.
