A Pickle, Not A Pickler

Let's hear it for a true law-and-order conservative, U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms William Pickler. Mr. Pickler, a former Secret Service agent, refuses to let thugs from the majority party escape justice. An A.P. article written by Robert Gehrke (not Gherkin) states:

There is "no doubt" that Republican staffers acted improperly in accessing Democratic strategy memos on judicial nominees, the Senate's sergeant-at-arms said Wednesday, as he defended his investigation into the incident.

"There is no doubt that what was done by certain people was certainly improper. There is no way of getting around it," Sergeant-at-Arms William Pickle said in an interview with The Associated Press.

When the Repukes and their allies are whining that the investigation by Pickle consitutes government waste, they fail to mention that patriot Pickle was picked for his post by that pickled peckerwood, Bill Frist.

And watch for Manny Miranda in an upcoming edition of the Grand Old Police Blotter.
