Precis: US Attorney General jokingly asks for another season, Simon responds by donning his brass knuckles and landing a haymaker:
The Attorney-General's kind remarks are noted and appreciated. I've spoken to Ed Burns and we are prepared to go to work on season six of The Wire if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanising drug prohibition.
The Wife just started reading a book about the all-encompassing social fiasco known as Prohibition which has already raised some interesting parallels with our current era, notably doctors prescribing 'medicinal' alcohol as the end of the ban drew nigh. Can't wait to read it myself.
