Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, speaking on Washington Times radio this morning, said a Democratic congressman should get "professional help" from the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood.
The congressman, Jim Moran of Virginia, said last week it is "un-American" to oppose the administration's decision to hold trials for five 9/11 suspects in New York City.
Today, Mukasey attacked Moran for the statement, reports Think Progress.
"I think he's lost touch with reality. He ought to get professional help, perhaps from Major Nidal," he said, to the laughter of the show's hosts.

Golly. That's a hoot.
Yet another example of progression. Republican politician, detached from reality, accuses Democratic politician of being detached from reality.
I didn't realize it was appropriate to make jokes about Major Nidal.
Didn't there used to be a grace period where events weren't shamelessly exploited for political arguments? Didn't there?

I wonder what Schumer thinks these days about the endorsement of this clown for AG.
