Reggie Walton has ruled as expected: Scooter’s going to the slammer while the appeals process plays out.

Sure, as Joe wrote the other day, this is gratifying in a vindictive way, but it’s also, uhm, whatchyoucallit… justice! I’m all for Libby paying a “personal price” for being an architect of the war, but I also think that’s not …

Over at his blog Newpairodimes, frequent Swampland commenter Trifecta notes that Ann Coulter has found a new target: George W. Bush.

So how much does Stephen Spielberg’s support of Hillary really mean? I asked a few of the many DC refugees who now toil in La-La-Land. Their take: Not as much as you’d think.
