What We Know about the Young Republican Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight

==snip==

Robert Flanagan

Flanagan is the son of William Flanagan, the acting U.S. Attorney for the western district of Louisiana. Which makes it rather awkward that he was arrested in, and is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney for, the eastern district of Louisiana. ****The elder Flanagan ascended to the gig just one week ago after his Bush-appointed boss left office; none other than Sen. Mary Landrieu has submitted recommendations for his replacement to the White House.**** UPDATE: And Obama has nominated Landrieu's recommendation, Stephanie Finley. But Sen. David Vitter (remember him? Hint: Prostitutes & Diapers) has placed a hold on Finley's confirmation because he wants assurances from the White House that Jim Letten, the U.S. Attorney who will be overseeing Flanagan's prosecution, won't be replaced. In other words, Flanagan's dad only has a job because the job of the guy who's prosecuting his son is in potential jeopardy. Vitter wants Obama to re-nominate Letten, a step that Landrieu says is redundant seeing as how he already has the job. Louisiana politics.

Shouldn't Vitter shut up and leave office *if* the RW really is the Moral party???
