old Satire Shmatire

Harriet Miers the embattled Supreme Court nominee withdraws! Not a great surprise given the forces lining up against her.
The amusing part of it all is that she is going to help vet the next nominee...doh!

Not a damn thing funny 'bout this - the US officially surpasses 2000 dead, and over 15000 wounded in the Iraq War.

I haven't been this breathless with anticipation since the Supreme Court gave the election to Dubya. It's indictment time!
Maybe.
Patrick Fitzgerald the Special Council in the Office of Special Council at the Department of Justice supposedly is going to wrap up his investigation as early as this week.

President Bush praised Fitzgerald a few weeks ago for running a very dignified investigation. This week it's all "no comment". The excitement is building, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

The right wing-nuts are already spinning the news about indictments before they happen. Things like: "it's just legal technicalities", "the criminalization of politics", "not indictments of the crimes but just about lies". A cool site aiming to keep the record straight is at ThinkProgress where they list the spin and the facts.

Libby, Rove and Lies Oh My!
