Amazing Kreskin -- Corruption Buster??

I couldn't believe it. I read it in The Morning Call on Saturday, and then I found it WNBC.com and even a longer article at Canada.com. 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. In a letter to acting Gov. Richard J. Codey, Kreskin offered his "non-partisan services" to sniff out folks with ulterior motives. According to Kreskin:
"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 ... strong sense (of that)."
Geez. Where were his services when we needed to find those weapons of mass destruction? Why didn't he offer to help find hostages taken by insurgents in Iraq? Or, better yet, could he help train screeners at the airports?
