How about a polygamy prince?
A day after U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid starts talking up a polygamy task force (and that means a polygamy czar — I nominate Mark Shurtleff!) — the feds say no thanks.U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman put a damper on things:
Let's not ignore that just announcing a task force doesn't give you probable cause to launch an investigation and it doesn't allow you to ignore constitutional protections.Of course not, Brett. It takes an unsubstantiated phone call from a fictitious 16-year-old to do that.
I think the feds are missing a bet if they don't anoint a polyg czar. Remember how successful the drug czar was? It's hard now to even recall when drugs were a major social problem in America.
I've even got a slogan for the PCz: "Just say NO to multiple wives."
There's hope, though. Reid spokesman Jon Summers says his boss stands by his call for the task force.
Senator Reid believes a federal task force could do a lot to increase enforcement efforts. Both [attorneys general] from [Utah] and [Arizona] seemed to agree with Sen. Reid on the phone yesterday that it would be helpful.Hey, Mark, how about, "Here's your brain on polygamy. SZZZZZ!"

What about Mitt? He's not doing anything.
