WILL PORNO FIGHT MAKE ALBERTO A SUPREME?

Even some conservatives are bewildered (and some amused) at Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller making evidence-gathering against the purveyors of adult pornography one of their "top priorities."

But Gonzales endorses the rationale of predecessor Meese: that adult pornography is a threat to families. Christian conservatives, long skeptical of Gonzales, greeted the pornography initiative with what the Family Research Council called "a growing sense of confidence in our new attorney general."

Sounds like Alberto recognizes that he needs to woo the Christian right if he wants to become the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice.

WaPo reported in July that "...a Gonzales nomination to the Supreme Court would likely face opposition from conservative Republicans who dislike his previous positions on such issues as abortion and affirmative action."

Darrell Ankarlo asked on his "Ankarlo Mornings" radio talk show this morning, "What were they [the FBI] thinking?" Even Ankarlo sees much greater needs for the FBI than to be running around investigating consenting adult (i.e., not kiddie) porn. It's clear that it was the Attorney General who added porn to the priority list, and the FBI, which works for him, is just following orders. As to what Gonzales was thinking, I think it's pretty obvious.

He's thinking how good he would look in a black robe.
