Political bits
(Reuters) The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to hold Rove, Miers, and Bolten in contempt for refusing to testify regarding the fired US Attorneys.
"Attorney General Michael Mukasey said during his confirmation hearing he did not believe the department could prosecute since it had deemed Bush's privilege claim as valid."
(AKTimes) A "brutal" anti-Huckabee web video/ad regarding Wayne Dumond and featuring the slain woman's mother was produced by a long time Arkansas Republican operative.
(CNN) George Bush's name was not used once in the entire 90 minute long GOP debate yesterday. (He's the head of their party and a two term serving president!)
And, aside from the Puritanical right, does anybody in our 21st century rehab nation really give a damn if Obama used drugs as a teenager? Maybe this is just big city talking, but I think almost everybody knows someone who has been in rehab or AA.
Later: Here's the 30 second debate clip that's got everyone talking. Clinton had trouble holding that forced laugh afterwards.

I'm a precinct captain for a Dem in the IA caucuses. The staffer, that graduated last year from Skidmore, went to school with Capital Hill interns. The kids said that it's a well known fact that W drinks everyday and that it's just kept quiet.
If they're going to make hay about someone's past drug use it would be hard to compare use decades old, to an active alcoholic in the WH.

Yeah. I tend to agree with you, but it's not about reality. It's about creating a sense of scandal.
I guess part of it is who is the Republican nominee. I wouldn't think Giuliani would want to go down that kinda road, but a desperate Romney or Huckabee might.

Would Huck now be out of GOP contention entirely by now if Wayne Dumond was black?

That's a very good point that hadn't even occurred to me.
