ESPecial Talent Required

The Amazing Kreskin, who bills himself as "the world's foremost mentalist," wants to help New Jersey stem the tide of shady practices in government, a problem U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie has called widespread. To that end, 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 Essex County, 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; I could get a damn strong sense (of that)."

Identifying politicians with ulterior motives doesn’t seem ESPecially difficult to me. Finding a New Jersey politician that doesn’t – now that would be amazing.
