If the only reason you wingnuts go into public service is to get rich off of the public *welfare* system of corporate lobbyists - it explains why so few of you are worth the sh*t you're full of. <em>John Roberts went from a ~$1.5m salary as a lawyer to a ~$150k salary as a judge.

That makes you an idiot, a liar, and a fool all in one post! You're definitely a RepubliCON - Liar.

These are young adults capable of mature thought processes. He's doing it because when the dust settles (if it ever does) on AttorneyGate, McNulty & Gonzo will be front and center with all of their personal filth outed for the entire country. His children will become persona non grata in the public's eye when this occurs and he's attempting to dodge the bullet not only for himself but for them (or so he claims). I'd say McNulty's motives have zilcho to do with his children; rather it's all about what McNulty knows will be coming down the pike. Evidently, his resignation means that there is much more to this descending avalanche called the DOJ Scandal. Perhaps he's afraid that, when Monica sings, he won't be able to walk the streets any longer???? Could be. His "timing" would appear so. How ludicrous!
