This sort of crap personally embarrasses me. I refer to the case of Zulima Farber, the attorney general of New Jersey, who resigned yesterday amidst allegations of improper conduct relating to her rushing to the scene in her official car when her live-in boyfriend was stopped for failure to wear his seatbelt. He had, by the way, an suspended license and expired registration.

But that's not the bad part.

This woman was confirmed as attorney general despite this traffic record: including 12 speeding tickets, 4 bench warrants and 3 license suspensions.

And why? Could it be because the Democrats are so desperate to be The Party Of Everybody that they will shove ANY WARM BODY into a position if she meets certain cosmetic qualifications? Farber is female, black, and hispanic. An immigrant from Cuba. Trifecta. Oh well; so she's an unqualified unethical scofflaw -- hey, let's make her attorney general!

Makes me want to tear up my party card.

We dunno. As we said before, we can't help thinking there's probably been one or two white guys in positions of power who've helped a friend out of a parking ticket. Or the National Guard.

But as the saying goes: when a Democrat does it, it's corruption; when a Republican does it, it's patronage.
