“I had returned to Christ and repented my sins by that time.”

After which encounter Christ had to take a shower.

So it turns out that it really does “depend on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is”:

The New Yorker’s Jeffrey Goldberg, reading Tom DeLay’s book so we don’t have to, finds the Hammer criticizing Newt Gingrich for carrying on an affair with a Capitol Hill employee in the midst of Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial. “I don’t think that Newt could set a high moral standard, a high moral tone, during that moment,” DeLay says. “You can’t do that if you’re keeping secrets about your own adulterous affairs.”

But wait, didn’t DeLay himself engage in an adulterous affair? Well, yes, he did, but he says that was different because he wasn’t still having the affair by the time the impeachment proceedings rolled around.

“There’s a big difference,” DeLay says. “Also,” he adds, “I had returned to Christ and repented my sins by that time.”

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, on an unannounced visit to Iraq today, declares: “Overall, what I’d say I see here today is progress, significant progress, from the last time I was here in December. And if you can see progress in war, that means you’re headed in the right direction.”

The photo from CNN is worth a look.

Maybe Wapo will surprise us and run an article noting that Lierberman believes an increased American body count means progress.

And I will post some pix for the pups. Here’s a preview – Hubbard Glacier from about 5 years ago…

God that is beautiful. I was planning to drive to AK myself this summer to celebrate a significant birthday, but have car issues and may not make it. Have a great trip!

OT, REAL early Froomkin today…

Isn’t that yesterday’s blog?
