Everybody is lying

AMDOM
* ""Everybody is lying," Abramoff told a former colleague. There are e-mails and records that will implicate others, he said. He was noticeably caustic about House Majority Leader Tom DeLay... "DeLay knew everything. He knew all the details."" LINK hahahahahahaha

* johndean (hero) writes about the nuclear option. worth a read. id love to see the nuclear option introduced, and then defeated by repugs with brains. LINK

* pletka is on cnn telling us how good bolton is. i hate pletka. cnni is saying that boltons confirmation is in doubt. the beeb is saying that there really arent any doubts. ill try to watch in on cspan later. update - it has just started, biden is dreaming about a dead president... will bolton be able to keep his mouth shut? tis the question...

* robertson and rockefeller were on mtp - they were kinda critical of the osp. keep shining the light there, fellas. and it turns out, they are gonna do the followup of the intelligence debacle. maybe. at some point.

* bradblog tells us that clintcurtis passed a polygraph test. Feeney responds "and I didn't lead the purple Martian invasion of Earth either." you know my thoughts about when they reach for the xfiles defense...

* in the commments to the curtis story at bradblog, i came across this awesome snippet "An election correction:
Nov 15th 2001
From The Economist print edition
In the issues of December 16th 2000 to November 10th 2001, we may have given the impression that George Bush had been legally and duly elected president of the United States. We now understand that this may have been incorrect, and that the election result is still too close to call. The Economist apologises for any inconvenience." LINK
wowsers! (altho im not sure what "the election result is still too close to call" means)

* ron is all over the story about the 2 girls getting stolen. praps bryan mayfield might be interested in helping... first they came for him... these cases make absolutely no sense if looked at in isolation. they seem to be trying to establish precedent, in the same way that schiavo wasnt about schiavo, similarly this isnt about these 2 girls. and thats fucking scary.

* i feel like i should use 'conclave' in a sentence

* heres Michael Scheuer scathing attack on sandyberger. LINK
as ive mentioned earlier, this is an odd story that i cant begin to unravel. i think i even saw fauxnews defending berger...
