[QUOTE=RTFirefly] Bite your tongue! I wouldn’t even wish that man on George W. Bush! But I wouldn’t mind resurrecting Archie Cox or Leon Jaworski. We don’t need an obsessed Puritan for a special prosecutor; all we need is one who will seek the truth with respect to matters of actual importance. [/QUOTE] If we’re going to do that, I’d also like to bring back [Sam Ervin](http://brainyquotes.com/quotes/authors/s/sam_ervin.html) (chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee) and turn him loose on the Administration. > [@](#): > > Divine right went out with the American Revolution and doesn’t belong to the White House aides.
