Say No to Sycophantism

From The WAPO:

"Appeals court judge J. Michael Luttig, a leading conservative jurist and a short-list Bush administration candidate for the Supreme Court, announced today that he is resigning from the bench to serve as senior vice president and general counsel of The Boeing Co."

Ha! If you recall, Judge Luttig was a conservative darling and frontline contender for a seat on the Supreme Court until he decided to have an opinion unfavorable to this administration. Perhaps he's realized that he's not getting a promotion anytime soon, what with the Republicans not liking him and the Democrats never liking him, and he's decided its time to rake in the big bucks. It would be interesting to find out how much General Counsel Luttig of the Boeing Corporation is going to earn.
