* fred barnes: 'the oil companies don't even have really high margins - the software industry has higher margins'
* william krystol spouted the same thing last week - 'the oil companies only have a 9% margin' or some such.
* Ray mcgovern: "I have one overwhelming reaction to the news that senior intelligence analyst Mary McCarthy has been fired for leaking information to the press on CIA’s network of secret prisons abroad: She must have seen no alternative to stop the abuses." (link)
he also takes a shot at Hoekstra and "Patsy Roberts" in the process.
* speaking of Patsy, here's more from Josh:
You'll remember how Sen. Roberts (R-KS), Chairman of the Intel committee, broke up the senate investigation into the Iraq intel debacle into two 'phases' and in so doing managed to push the report about President Bush's role in the bamboozlement out past the 2004 election.
Apparently it worked so well the first time he's going to try it again.
According the to The Hill, Chairman Roberts now wants to take the part of the investigation he split off to get it past the 2004 election and further split up the split off part in to two new pieces. That should help him get it all past the 2006 election.
Got that?

And the kicker? Ranking Member Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) won't oppose Roberts' new gambit.
He's been a patsy for Roberts for so long time I guess it's hard to change.

Ray McGovern did a great job on the Lehrer Hour. He was particularly clear in relation to the invasion of Iraq that the Bush admin was in breach of US criminal code 2441 concerning war crimes. This code mandates the death penalty where deaths result from those war crimes. See also here
The PBS interview you linked to was excellent (I watched it) - Richard Kerr was pathetic. McGovern came across very well. It's also nice to see that the war crimes issue is finally getting serious airplay.
The repugs ought to be very scared about November. They may have Rove working for them, but they have Bush working against them 24/7.
The US Congress is a separate but equal branch of government. Nope. Couldn't type that with a straight face.
it was great to see Ray on Lehrer - and you are correct - he did a great job. let's hope lehrer keeps him on speed-dial
noise - congress is separately bought, and equally paid for...
lets hope Harry brings out Rule21 again and turns Frist into a shivering nervous wreck, again.
larisa says that Patsy was put there on purpose...

More games. It would take 10 minutes to put serious public pressure on Pat Roberts IF someone in the Senate WANTED to do so.
These a-holes have to play the "We are statesmen and thus are polite to one another" game. Meanwhile, the policies implemented by way of deliberate lies and fearmongering are getting thousands of people killed.
There is a reason politicians get such a bad rap. More often than not it is well earned.

more often than not it is bought & paid for...

it'd be funny in a banana-republic way if it wasnt for all the dead people.
