Dr Germ

* lambert joins the party: "I used to be a moderate on impeachment, because I didn’t think it was tactically wise. But Bush threw down the gauntlet with his radio speech. 2008 is too late to stop this."

* athena joins the party: "We should call for Bush's impeachment... Doesn't mean, impeached or not, we shouldn't hang his criminality around the necks of these people and let it hang there until it rots and stinks so that all the neighbors move away."

* how funny is the Dr Germ and Mrs Anthrax thing... as you know, i love nicknames. i bet Murdoch created the Dr Germ and Mrs Anthrax monikers - as usual. im surprised they havent come up with a nickname for zarqawi. the Chainsaw Baby Rapist?

* i recently said that Kevin Kellems, a former Wolfowitz flack, was now Cheney flack. that is incorrect. he is now a former Cheney flack as well. and a current wolfowitz flack again. i regret the error. in case you've forgtten who Kellems is - he is the former biz partner of Melissa Dollaghan. she was the fourth member of Wilkes' GroupW who recently married the local assemblyman, and recipient of wilkes' largesse.

* frnaklin foer notes that Mahatir in Malaysia was abramoff's client - and grover norquist represented Anwar Ibrahim. it sounds like the indian casino scam, with some anal rapage thrown in for good measure. (and our friend tom delay is getting a slice of the action too)
