Moments before Tim Russert asked him on Meet the Press this morning if he would accept the job if asked by the president, I was already on the bandwagon. There aren’t that many people in office who both see the U.S. attorneys mess as the non-scandal that it always has been and are continuing to defend the current AG. But Orrin Hatch is.

So Orrin Hatch for AG…except Pat Leahy is being coy about whether or not he’s confirmable. He’s as confirmable as anyone.

Alternatively: Orrin Hatch for substitute White House press secretary while Tony Snow is on the mend.

(And then we go back to my old stand-by: RJS for AG.)
