“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by poet T.S. Eliot shares the story of a sexually frustrated middle-aged man who wants to express his true feelings but is afraid to speak his mind.

“The Love Song of (Fulton County) D.A. Fani Willis” tells the tragic tale of a woman whose lust for power was exceeded by her lust for another woman’s husband, and now she faces embarrassment and possibly even legal ramifications for accusations based on her sordid affair with a married man.

Look for any parallels you might find between Eliot’s poem and the life and times of Fani Willis.

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table …

No one has ever accused Fani Willis of being the sharpest tool in the shed.

Fulton County Superior Court judge Robert McBurney said about Willis hosting a 2022 fundraiser for a Democrat candidate opposing a potential target of her investigation, “It’s a ‘What are you thinking?’ moment.  The optics are horrific.”

When people believe they are above the law, they tend to do as they please.  Case in point: D.A. Willis apparently hired her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, to help prosecute former president Donald Trump under a RICO statute.  Even though Mr. Wade has no experience trying RICO cases, she is paying him the exorbitant rate of $250 per hour.  Thus far, Wade has billed the state of Georgia for more than $728,000 in legal fees.  Contrast his salary with attorney John Floyd, a recognized expert on RICO prosecutions, also assigned to the Trump case, who is making $150 per hour.  Mr. Wade is black, and Mr. Floyd is white.

There are only two possible explanations for why Mr. Wade should earn $100 more per hour than Mr. Floyd for doing the same work on the same case: either race played a role in the pay discrepancy or the personal relationship between Mr. Wade and Ms. Willis played a role.  Ms. Willis hired her lover at the maximum hourly rate despite his lack of experience with handling such cases and has reaped the benefit of their romantic relationship by taking extravagant trips to Belize and Aruba, cruises in the Caribbean, and even a champagne and caviar tasting in Napa Valley.

What, no balloon rides?  All courtesy of Georgia taxpayers.

And indeed there will be time
To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”

Ms. Willis (and Mr. Wade) claims she reimbursed Mr. Wade with cash she just happened to have lying around the house.  Apparently, she doesn’t have a checking account.  In virtually every other instance where she reimbursed others for her personal expenses, she used Cash App instead of paying with actual cash, but in the instance of reimbursing Mr. Wade for far more money, she used actual currency — currency that never shows as being deposited into Mr. Wade’s bank.

Ms. Willis didn’t have to get involved in a political prosecution of former President Trump, but Joe Biden and the White House wanted him prosecuted, and she wanted to be a good Democrat and toe the party line.  She didn’t have to hire Mr. Wade.  She thought she could get away with it.

Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
