Are you still pissed that Dan Quayle took Air Force 2, instead of commercial, on a couple of golf outings?
What is the objection, the use of a federal marshall, as opposed to him doing it himself? Methinks you'd be objecting if he'd asked the law school dean to do the same thing.
And I doubt this is the federal marshall of the wild west days. It's some former FBI guy who's gotten fat and lazy, and probably spends most of his time sitting at the X-ray machine at the local federal courthouse reminding you to remove things from his pockets.

I'm not particularly pissed about this, but the account I saw reported that the marshal took the recorder from one of the reporters and deleted the tape herself. This is something that the rest of us can't do. That's all I'm saying.
