Politics will never be the same



The ramifications of this are, well, amazing. He should be at every future political debate:

"The Amazing Kreskin, who bills himself as 'the world's foremost mentalist,' wants to help his home state of New Jersey stem the tide of shady practices in government, a problem U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie has called widespread.

"Kreskin sent a letter to acting Gov. Richard J. Codey offering his nonpartisan services to help ferret out those who come to government with ulterior motives.

"Kreskin, who lives in northern New Jersey, said he would monitor government meetings with a mind's eye toward keeping things above board.

"'If a person is coming in with a strong hidden agenda, they're thinking about it. They're focusing on it,' he said Wednesday in a phone interview. 'I could get a ... strong sense (of that).'

"Kreskin said he sent his letter to Codey's office Monday, signing it 'ESPecially, Kreskin.' A spokeswoman for Codey, Kelley Heck, wasn't sure the letter had been received."
