	I am seldom astonished by ridiculous Congressional proposals to waste money, but here's an entirely new idea: Congressman Suggests Moat Around White House. Faced with an increasing number of White House intrusions that led to the resignation of a Secret Service director, a congressman on Wednesday suggested that maybe a moat should be erected around the president’s home. The suggestion was made by Rep. Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat, at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. With hand gestures, Cohen suggested a moat roughly six-feet wide may be “attractive” and “effective.” MarketWatch provides this diagram. CSPAN Video At the 3:40 mark, acting secret service director Joseph Clancey responds to the Rep. Cohen's idea. I started the video at the correct spot. Link if video does not play: Secret Service Says Moat May Be Effective. Partial Transcript Rep. Steve Cohen: Would a moat, water, six feet around be kind of attractive and effective? Secret Service: Sir, it may be. Mike "Mish" Shedlock http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com
