She Wore A Brand New Jersey

And were it you or I we'd have had ours fashioned in prison-orange.

January 29, 2006 -- "After an intense grilling, a state Senate committee last week voted to approve the dubious nomination of Zulima Farber as Gov. Jon Corzine's choice for attorney general of New Jersey. Her confirmation is assured, probably tomorrow, which is a shame.
Three years ago, then-Gov. Jim McGreevey tapped Farber for a state Supreme Court seat — only to withdraw her name once news broke that she'd gotten 13 speeding tickets over the years, had her driver's license suspended and had two bench warrants issued against her (in 1996 and in '02) for failing to show up for court hearings.
That was reason enough to keep her off the Garden State's highest court. It certainly should also have been enough to keep her out of New Jersey's top law-enforcement job."

Then, you ask, how is it that such a scofflaw gets to be Attorney General? Zulima is Hispanic. Zulima is female. This makes the Jersey loons literally quiver with unbridled glee.
