Now, I recall that, when the Bushies first moved into the White House, one of the most heinous accusations they leveled at the departing Clinton staff when they accused them of trashing the place was that they had absconded with that very same flak jacket. I guess the Bushies figured no one would remember after six years so that it was safe now to bring the jacket out of Karl Rove’s closet…</p> Did anyone watch the Scott McClellan farewell piece on This Week and notice the flak jacket he displayed, which is traditionally passed on from one press secretary to the next?

This absence of a stand will come back to bite the party in the ass. Thank god for Feingold and the few others that have the gumption to say what they actually stand for.

Dean didn’t get a nickname, but Stephanopoulos laughed nervously about the DNC Chair’s unabashedness.

Speaking of Stephanopoulos, I thought eunuch’s were supposed to grow fat and get a high voice.
