• The horror is getting to Matt Taibbi
  Exclusive Q&A with writer Taibbi. Snippet - "If and when I ever get to be Interior Minister, one of my first acts is going to be the putting to death of anyone who thinks God interferes in the outcome of things like sporting events and elections. I'd want to have a giant shark tank built expressly for this purpose. Just throw them in there and then dump a couple of barrels of cow blood in the water..."

• Who can Fox News get to pad their ill-fated Dem debate?
  With the latest news that of the current 2008 Democratic presidential candidates, only rantin' grandpa Mike Gravel, kindler gentler racist Joe Biden, and "Peace Gnome" Dennis Kucinich are bothering to show up for Fox's debate in a few months, I'm wondering who the pseudonews network could call on to fill out the seats that Clinton, Edwards, Obama et al. won't be sitting in. A few worthy possibilities came to mind...

• Bob Novak hypes Fred Thompson, and for good reasons
  Nattering nabob Robert Novak says in his latest Evans-Novak Political Report that ex-Sen. Fred Thompson is "a strong Republican presidential prospect because of the weaknesses of the GOP's 'big three.'" Bob can rattle off all the distracting nonsense he wants, but he knows the real reasons that Fred Thompson will surely be the Republican nominee are two...

• Bob Novak reminds us how the economy works
  Er, the D.C. economy, at any rate. From his latest exclusive newsletter: "[F]ew Americans know that a very small number of Washington-connected families negotiate, appropriate and benefit from large expenditures of taxpayer money on a small number of companies through the earmarking process." Another interesting bit from his latest is his take on the dust-up between Sens. Clinton & Obama at the recent Dem YouTube debate...

• Democrats sell out America thanks to spy bill vote
  What an absolute disgrace this is. Not only did the Democrats almost completely cave in to the Bush junta on this most critical issue they actually gave him more power. Unbelievable. How can any Democrat paint themselves as a logical alternative to the GOP when you have this kind of sycophancy going on? Aren't we past this knee-jerk "ZOMG THE TERRORISTS ARE COMING TO KILL US!!!11111″ nonsense yet, that we should so easily give up the rights for which we're supposedly fighting? What makes this even worse is...

• FISA failure demonstrates why we need real progressives in Congress
  I'm still mulling over the massive Democratic capitulation that enabled Bush to pass into law the most sweeping violation of Americans' privacy yet--legalizing an illegal program, and making it stronger to boot. Why did this happen? Why did Democrats in both chambers of Congress roll over and give Mr. 28% carte blanche to spy on Americans without any recourse? Why throw away all the political capital that could have been gained from opposing him? As I said in my previous post about the FISA collapse, it wasn't just Democrats who helped push this ugly bill into law--many of the supporters were newly-elected netroots Democrats, who came to Congress on a platform of change and opposing Bush on his draconian usurpation of the rule of law. It's not the first tim

• Novak: '08 Democratic sweep of Presidency, Senate, House is 'probable'
  Sometimes it's hard to tell, when our old buddy Bob Novak scuttlebutts, whether he's been interacting with actual people or talking to his fist like Señor Wences. And then, if there's good reason to believe he's not winging it on his own, you have to figure out if he's sharing legitimate insider analyses or just passing on Karl Rove's latest crateful of fat red herring to hapless readers. That's what makes him fun to peruse. If we got no-bullshit Bob in his latest political newsletter, then Republicans are in for an even more miserable 2008...
