Via Froomkin,

Pew has Bush’s JAR at 37% unchanged from August.

Also the mild mannered and circumspect Jimmy Carter on Dick Cheney:

Well, the vice president unfortunately has been consistently very careless with the truth. He still maintains some preposterous comments and attitudes toward the origins of the Iraqi war, the circumstances in Iraq now and he’s had a policy in my opinion of deliberately trying to mislead the American people by making untrue statements and there’s no reason to give any credence to his ridiculous claims that you’ve just described.”

Jimmy, told hold back. Tell us what you really think.

op99 as Senor Wences.

op99 – I’m with you on the chips v. cash. It all makes for an interesting way to pass around huge chunks of cash, doesn’t it? Offshore Casino, Indiana tribes gambling, “chips” (sounds like they were just sharing cookies doesn’t it?) to politicians.

I wish I could remember the story awhile back about a politician who was getting digs about stopping at a casino. He claimed it was to use the bathroom – he said he doesn’t gamble..

Chips – cash, rinse – repeat.

I wish a prosecutor type would look at the plea agreement and see if they agree with Sloan. Not a very optimistic outcome if he’ll be sitting mum in rehab.

Lots of fun, reading under the covers with a flashlight after bedtime. (Didn’t fool my mother, though.)

I always wondered how yer knuckles got busted. Overuse, I guess.

I’m a mechanic.
