Slamming dunks

LA TIMES: ResedaWeb.blog beat the Morning Briefing to the ball on the John Wooden Post Office story, they highlighting the Brad Sherman connection
Stamp of approval: During the time John Wooden was winning NCAA championships by the, yes, OK, bucketful at UCLA, Brad Sherman was a student on the Westwood campus.

Now, Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) is in Congress, and he has introduced a bill to name the Reseda post office in Wooden's honor. "Should be a slam dunk," Sherman predicted.

::::Ed. note-- The last time a politician made news with the phrase "slam dunk" it was ex-CIA head George Tennant saying how assured they could be of evidence of weapoms of mass destruction. I can guess Sherman's assuredness is reflective of a greater certainty of result. ::::
