OT but it has a narrow band of relevence in this discussion. Captain Ed on how effective dissent requires some independent thinking. Good point, but he will be hollerin' for a long time before they get it. http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/005670.php

Ted Stevens would be kinda like President Bob Novak.

Not for the squeamish.

These GOoPers are on such a roll lately, I say let them attack Fitzgerald, especially after they praised him for months for the dignified way he does his job. And Fitzgerald laid low for 2004 so the investigation would not distract us from our important job “re”-electing Bush.
The knee-jerk retaliation of chickenhawks is what started this particular chain of events, so why not let another round of it commence? I’m making popcorn to enjoy it more thoroughly.

Tucker Carlson just said on Hardball that the White House blew it by praising Fitzgerald and for to Bush to note the seriousness of his investigation. Why? Because it closes off the opportunity to attack Fitzgerald if and when indictments come down. Better to start talking now, as has Tuco, about the possibility that maybe Fitzgerald is out of control. Nice.

Does anyone know who would be President in the line of succession?

Bush and Cheney goes–Dennis Hastert is President (oh my head)

Then it’s President Pro Tempore–Sen. Ted Stevens (arggh!)

Then it’s Secretary of State; Condi Rice.

Talk about two-edged swords.

It would be refreshing if the Law and Order republicans would stop parsing the nuance of statutes and practice what they preach. The Rule of Law is more than a technicality. The spirit of the law is the true Ghost in the Machine . That seems a bit overlooked in all these discussions.

It would also be refreshing if Fox News would stop treating people like Hannity as journalists reporting the “news”, instead of the “talking head” with a clear agenda, which is what he really is.

When I hear O’Reilly or Hannity say that their programs give you the “most accurate news and information,” I want to upchuck.

And yes, during Monicagate…all we heard about was “Rule of Law.” Ad nauseum.
