Publicly announce that he'd like the gig on Lawrence a few weeks back?

I'd like to see that.

I suspect the right wingers have already made their decision. It's just a matter of allowing the arguments to be made and waiting before announcing it.

Yes, I do believe that they are that corrupt. I doubt they can be convinced on any case, they know what the people who own them want and they do that.
