GUESS WHO HECKLED MUKASEY:

The story of last week’s Federalist Society dinner gets weirder. It appears that the man who heckled Attorney General Michael Mukasey–shouting “Tyrant! You are a tyrant!”–was a Supreme Court justice from Washington. Don’t worry, it wasn’t Souter or Breyer. We’re referring to the other Washington.

There was a time when America’s leadership class, whatever its other flaws, was above this sort of thing. Really, things do seem to have gone downhill.
