The DoJ has released a report [PDF] dealing with (among other things) the politicization of hiring practices in the department. No offense to the investigators or anything, but it doesn’t sound like it was exactly hard to sniff out:
On March 26, 2004, Rosenberg sent an e-mail to Comey and Levey identifying a detail candidate for a

The LA Times’ On the Media column points out a provocative study from (my old employer) the Center on Media and Public Affairs that seems to deflate the conventional wisdom that Obama is benefiting from favorable media coverage. The center classified statements about the candidates from the nightly network newscasts over the past six …
Following up on Joe’s comments from the other day — and on the hubbub McCain’s comments have caused in the blogosphere — allow me to present two widely divergent responses to the idea that the “so-called ‘surge'” inculcated/encouraged/allowed the “Anbar Awakening.” First, McCain says when he said “surge” he didn’t mean “surge,” he …
Local radio news station WTOP is reporting that this morning, Robert Novak hit a pedestrian with his (wait for it) black Corvette. And then (drum roll) tried to leave the scene before being stopped by witness, who said, “You can’t just hit someone with your car and then leave.” He has been charged by DC police. Notes WTOP, “Novak, 77, …
Yes, the McCain folks seemed to have canceled a press availability today, at a time when McCain would probably get some questions about things he doesn’t want to talk about. To be fair — or perhaps to put it in context — McCain generally will do several avails a day, Obama just one or two a week, if that. And when Ambinder (rightly) …
A year ago, it would have been difficult to believe that Obama could legitimately make McCain look bad on veterans’ issues. Then again, he’s had some help:
At a town hall meeting in Dover, N.H., McCain talked about the need to “concentrate” veterans’ health care on people with injuries that “are a direct result of

I know this has already been widely mocked, but, well, it deserves to be some more.
I look forward to Richard Cohen’s column next week, about the importance of regular colonoscopies.
The McCain people must be going insane:
“Here is what I will say,” Obama said, “I think that, I did not anticipate, and I think that this is a fair characterization, the convergence of not only the surge but the Sunni awakening in which a whole host of Sunni tribal leaders decided that they had had enough with Al Qaeda, in the Shii’a

This bothers me:
Logan: “Do you have any doubts?”
Obama: “Never.”
A lot more than the 8-10 years thing. Unless, of course, you think that slip of the tongue means that he actually is planning to run the country for ten years, constitution be damned, etc. Sort of like how McCain accidentally revealed that he actually has no idea what

Radar reports on the “most hated” pundits on television. Nothing shocking: O’Reilly, Ingraham, Olbermann, etc. Who’s liked may turn some heads: Novak and Sean Hannity, among a few others. I’d also add Pat Buchanan to the list, though — as with the Prince of Darkness and his Hannitiness — his relative charm may stem from just how low …
Hey, did you know that there’s also some other guy running for president? True story!
