A good start

When I heard the rumor that the President’s first response to the oil disaster in the Gulf was to send a bevy of lawyers, I wasn’t appalled as were so many people. In fact, I lauded the effort. It reminded me of the joke about what you would call a dozen lawyers lying dead at the bottom of a swimming pool. Answer: A good start. I was later disappointed to learn that Mr Obama’s lawyers weren’t going to be used to plug the hole.
