Tuesday evening I saw a clip on Brit Hume of Dick Durbin howling in the well of the Senate about how Estrada has supposedly been extensively coached by the Justice Dept. and White House Counsel's office so he can stealth into the Federal Judiciary. I called his office the next day:

"The next time the Senator goes to the floor to present Manchurian-Candidate-style conspiracy theories about secret plots to stuff the Federal bench with enemies of the Constitution, I would appreciate it if he would wear a tinfoil hat, so that the rest of the country will know he's in space radio mode and won't hold his fevered rantings against the people of the great State of Illinois. OK? Thanks."

It didn't come out quite that cleanly, but you get the gist. I may call them and make a tinfoil hat request daily.
