Given that the EO prohibiting offshore drilling was signed by Dumbya's father, The 2nd lie is Steel's whine that the Dems are blocking it. Still, I hope they don't get wobbly kneed if Dumbya decides to shred his Dad's EO along with the Constitution. Oh, and brother Jeb was an adamant opponent of drilling off the Florida coast...

"McCain's view ... seems to have shifted" ?!?!? Try "done a 180" instead of "shifted". Glenn Greenwald has a post up and promises another later today.

If Shires provided information as part of a plea bargain, I can't wait to see what all Bill Orr has to say between now and his sentencing.

I think the photo of Schaffer may now be permanently outdated. I doubt that he's got a smile left in him after these recent events.

So Kohring's getting a 3 1/2 yr 'vacation'. I'm amazed that the 'silver bullet' (or 'Al Capone') approach hasn't been used on Don Young or Ted Stevens yet. Pick one specific felony that you've clearly got him nailed on, nail him, then work on other crimes while he's cooling his heels and OUT OF OFFICE!!!!

I disagree. Arkin has passed on to the public yet another of the now traditional Administration "Nothing to see here, move along" fogfarts. What does it take to look up some of the people who prepared the report Rumsfeld apparently shitcanned and see if they corroborate Sanchez' story? How many times do they have to be shown to be outright liars before a reporter/bloviator finally gets the clue that s/he should be more than a stenographer?

He's not getting the fawning press back home that he's been used to, so maybe that's got him a bit more on edge than usual. Check out this Anchorage Daily News (May 2, 2008) cartoon.

"Several lawyers" took him up on that author.

Is Mukasey aware that the (conflicted) judge in the case is refusing to release the trial transcript, thus making it impossible for Siegelman's attorneys to file an appeal? Somehow, I don't think it has escaped his notice.

Links aren't working, nor is your name appearing under the title. It just says "By - " and the dateline.
