Nice to see your friend and mine, Bill Bennett, given another opportunity to vent his particular brand of helium on Meet the Press over the weekend. I still wait for one of Washington's tough cookies to ask Mr. Virtue where lies the virtue in the early release of violent criminals in order to make prison room for the marijuana users serving the mandatory minimums that the ex-drug czar found useful for "sending a message." As Sam Goldwyn used to say to preachy movie-makers, "If you want to send a message, call Western Union."
