norm coleman: fool. george galloway: cool.

* normcoleman accuses galloway of being in the pay of saddam - again. adam sent it through with a question: "What do you make of this?...the best defense is a strong offense?" (link)
norm coleman is an idiot - he figures that theres 51% of voters will vote for him if he says whitewater oil4food every week

* arthur silber is back! new blog at powerofnarrative

* google is stupid - again - i'm #3 on "iran-contra testimony" (link)

* steve clemons: "I have just been tipped off that the Los Angeles Times plans to run a rip-the-veneer-off the White House cabal op-ed by Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former State Department Chief of Staff, in the morning.
I have read it...It's 998 words of honest patriotism that Americans need to hear -- and 998 tons of dynamite on the Executive Office of the President." (link)
these fucking cowards - coming out of the woodwork on fitzmas eve

* miers apparently isnt going to get to the senate - i think thats probably a shame.

* driftglass is almost sorry, almost, briefly, for the moderate republicans:

"...and for only one reason: whatever Santa Claus delivers come Fitzmas morn, in five short years, the Moderates have lived to become everything they detest. Every word of clucking reproach they yelped in snickering glee during the Clinton Age has gotten caught up in the Bush Treason Cyclotron, sped up to light-speed, and is now coming screaming back at them like a sack of radioactive axe-heads.

Their worst nightmare is in the process of coming true, big as a mountain in stilettos, carrying a sledgehammer in one hand and a 40-foot-long straight razor in the other, and there is not shit all they can do about it. Because everything they believed or touted or crowed about or tried to rub in our faces is in the process of coming down around their ears." (link)

and one of the main reasons i love driftglass is because he would put a mountain on stillettos to make it bigger. brilliant. who else would do that?
