□ The Washington Post wonders editorially how Robert Bork can get a fair hearing from the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairman, Blowhard Joe Biden, “has already cast himself in the role of a prosecutor instead of a juror.” Others have suggested that Biden, as a presidential candidate with an obvious interest, should disqualify himself. Biden lamely says that though he goofed in announcing his opposition to Bork without giving his reasons, he’ll still oppose him and may filibuster against him. Liberals used to denounce filibusters, back before they acquired a senator so eminently qualified to lead them in one.
□ Okay, everyone now knows that they are out to get Meese. Poindexter insulated Reagan—terribly frustrating. North is a national hero—can’t do anything to him. So you move down the line, and Meese has been elected to the post of cow in the Amazon River. The attack will take the form of, “Well, he hasn’t been proved to have done anything wrong, but he has become so controversial that he has lost effectiveness.” But this is one cow who has cast-iron skin, on which the piranhas will shatter their little teeth.
