PLACE YOUR BETS!

The odds are as follows:
- Michael Chertoff: 5-1.
- Michael Brown: 4-1.
- Hugh Hewitt: 10-1.
- Robert H. Bork: 8-1. (HT: MJD.)
- Charles Colson: 15-1.
- Oliver North: 12-1.
- Vote Fraud Fraud pioneer Jeff Sessions: 7-1.
- Paul Wolfowitz: 8-1.
- Scooter Libby: 10-1.
- John Yoo: 3-1.
- The mummified corpse of Augusto Pinochet: 2-1.
