Fitzgerald-Cheney Interview: A Comedy of Excuses

By: emptywheel Friday July 3, 2009 7:50 am

I think the DOJ is trying to distract Jon Stewart from laughing at Cheney by making a farcical argument about why his interview materials can't be released.

Maxine Waters Takes the Pledge, Says Whip Effort Can be “Very Successful”

By: Jane Hamsher Friday July 3, 2009 6:50 am

Maxine Waters spoke with Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films. Per Robert, she pledged to vote against any bill that does not have a strong public option which is available nationwide, from day one (no triggers), answerable to Congress (not states, which would be too small to have bargaining strength to keep prices down).

Porter Goss, Come On Down!

By: Christy Hardin Smith Friday July 3, 2009 6:00 am

Outtake from Farenheit 9/11.No idea why, but this just makes me smile:The witnesses recently called by the special prosecutor, former government officials said, include the agency’s top officer in London and Porter J. Goss, who was C.I.A. director when the tapes were destroyed in November 2005. Destruction of evidence is not something you should just forgive and forget.

Late Night: A Whiter Shade of Pule

By: Thers Thursday July 2, 2009 8:00 pm

Jay Nordlinger, NRO's Renaissance Grandpa Simpson, Deeply Ponders the Message of History, and affably informs us "America has always been screwy about race and ethnicity." How true! Slavery, for instance, was just altogether "screwy," goofball stuff. And what was all that Jim Crow kookiness all about, anyhow? Wacky! It was off the wall!

The Fitzgerald-Cheney Interview: What Don’t We Know That We Don’t Know?

By: emptywheel Thursday July 2, 2009 7:15 pm

Mary pointed me to DOJ's latest attempt to prevent CREW from accessing the materials relating to Cheney's interview with Fitzgerald and the FBI. I'll get into what a load of crap the DOJ argument is later. But first, I want to lay out what the FOIA declarations say about the Cheney interview itself. First, the date.

Steve Schmidt Sells Shit by the Seashore

By: TBogg Thursday July 2, 2009 6:30 pm

I agree with Jason Zengerle that you have to feel kind of bad for McCain strategist Steve Schmidt even if he did have a hand in picking the Nome Nitwit as McCain's running mate.
