The Washington Post today is a feast for those who believe that the now-infamous neo-conservatives who brought us to ruin in Iraq deserve comeuppance, if not something far more grave. Cheney was — and still is — the godfather of the push for war, but his team of enablers included, of course, his former chief of staff (and current …

That Saddam and al Qaeda were not actually working together comes as a surprise to exactly one person:

The report’s release came on the same day that Vice President Cheney, appearing on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program, repeated his allegation that al-Qaeda was operating inside Iraq “before we ever launched” the war…Cheney cited the

Yesterday, Mary Ann Akers reported that the Edwards campaign was trolling those who wish Elizabeth well for campaign donations. The campaign’s first response was defensive: “Nobody gets an e-mail from us without explicitly agreeing to receive e-mails.” Today, the campaign has revamped the web form and will no longer be automatically …

Does anyone else find it slightly worrisome that the Attorney General is spending almost three weeks to prepare to give testimony that is essentially a “do-over” from his first round? It reminds me of the practical reason to avoid lying: it’s easier to keep track of the truth.

In fact, as Tracy Schmidt reveals in this story on Time.com, the Foley scandal has done wonders for the page program’s popularity. Go figure.

Reporters who ask Hillary’s people what their response is to Obama’s fundraising announcement get this:

Bush, yesterday, explaining why former strategist Matthew Dowd has soured on the Iraq war:

You know, if I were Bush, I might not want to draw …

I wonder which number scares the Hillary camp more, the $25 million, or the 100,000 donors. And they did it all without the fundraising genius of “the Big Dog” or the Macker.

A Swampland correspondent writes to predict the Clinton response: “We are disappointed that a Democrat would deem it appropriate to motivate so many to enter the …
