Bob Barr's New Gig At CNN

You knew it was only a matter of time before conservative/libertarian (depending on the issue) Bob Barr, former Congressman, surfaced on a cable news network with a paying job. True, back in August, we thought it would be Fox. But Atrios informs us it is going to be CNN.

Now that he's out of the House, his reputation as the " worst drug warrior in Congress" no longer scares us. We've always appreciated his civil liberties positions--as does the ACLU, which put him on the payroll after his primary defeat.

Bob Barr, "contributer" to CNN and "consultant" to the ACLU. Not bad for an incumbent who lost a primary.
