driftglass & Coulter

* C&L has the coleman/heckuva smackdown. (link)
(c&L must have the most extraordinary bandwidth costs. he's a top-10 blogger or some such - his b/width must be something like 80% of the entire blogosphere. thank you john, indeed)

* feingold and conyers slam the new Patriot Act deal (jeralyn,)

* bradblog has another exclusive - a letter from conyers to cheney and blinky re Waas' article on liobbygate

* emptywheel: "One final option is possible. We'll be sorting through the intra-White House politics on the Plame Affair for quite some time. But is it possible that Waas' source is someone from the Andy Card side of the White House? ... Is it possible the leaks to Waas and Leonnig were designed to incriminate Dick and, by association, draw attention away from Bush? Which would explain why Jeffress (libby's lawyer) responded so quickly (and so oddly??)--because he realized someone had scored a few points against him."

* oops driftglass is gonna have to agree with Coulter: "Coulter on moderate Republicans:
"There is more dissent on a slave plantation then amongst moderates in the Republican party."" (link)
