In its most inspirational appointment in years, Congress named Michael Barnett, a 15-year-old Baltimore boy with Down Syndrome, Very Special Prosecutor to the ongoing White House fundraising investigation Monday. 'Michael is very special. He is fun, loves to laugh, and is always smiling,' U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN) said. When informed of his appointment, Barnett waved a pen and said, 'Im a special boy!' He then accidentally signed an order for the Marines to seize all private property in the U.S. Thompson quickly nullified the order, saying, 'Michael is very special, and I know hell be trying very hard. And thats whats important.'
