The missing sidebar to Karen’s cover story on the Mittster.
Today on the Trail is a listing of notable campaign events. It is digested and reconstituted by the Swampland Intern. Today’s busiest candidate is John McCain, who’s combining his daughter’s graduation from Columbia University with a fundraising spree that ranges from a low-dollar “Young Professionals” event — co-hosted with matriculating Meghan McCain — (just $150 [...]
Peter Swire at Think Progress finds some 2006 Gonzales testimony regarding the NSA wiretap program that’s looking a tad, um, inconvenient at the moment: GONZALES: Senator, here is a response that I feel that I can give with respect to recent speculation or stories about disagreements.

Sean Hannity just referred to how “we can’t really define torture,” except, of course, when it comes to “cutting off of limbs.” Glad we can agree on that. PS: RON PAUL just won the text message poll. The GOP’s Sanjaya!
The idea that Sean Hannity is posing as someone fit to judge the rhetorical styles of others, let alone their logic, is offensive to those of us who can construct a sentence that doesn’t include the words “Hannitized!” I advise those who can to start drinking now.

Not a phrase you normally see in a New York Times account of a congressional hearing. But James Comey was indeed a spellbinder today on Capitol Hill. NYT account by David Stout begins: WASHINGTON, May 15 — On the night of March 10, 2004, a high-ranking Justice Department official rushed to a Washington hospital to [...]
