Something about convicted felon former Republican House Reprensentative Duke Cunningham and……. Prostitutes?! Ewwwwww.
When Feingold introduced his censure resolution, Specter said it was too soon, and that his investigation had not finished, and that more facts were going to arise. Well, more than a month later, no new facts have arisen. Besides, say, more news reports that state that the NSA is spying on liberals for political reasons. […]
No, Mr Libby, I will not be dismissing this case. Here is a 31 page reason why.
Seriously though… Did Libby/Luskin actually think that would work?

The brilliant Secretary of “Defense” has come out and unveiled his brilliant strategy on Iraq. He’s decided that the “key” to “success” in Iraq is…….. (wait for it)………. getting tough with Iran. How very convinient. It’s almost like things are just… falling into place.
Oh man. Associated Press:
The judge who presided at the “Da Vinci Code” copyright infringement trial has put a code of his own into his ruling, and he said Wednesday he would “probably” confirm it to the person who breaks it.
