NYT: Lieberman taking a principled stand

* 'parently duncan hunter is behind the new swiftboating of murtha.

* GQ:

Feingold in upcoming GQ interview: George Bush committed a more impeachable offense than Clinton or Nixon ever did."

* as the corp media slams kos, and bloggers, and truthout, now wapo is going after John Stewart: "Jon Stewart, Enemy of Democracy?". Stoller has the appropriate response.

* frank rich:

"The Department of Homeland Security, in keeping with the Bush administration's original opposition to it, isn't really a government agency at all so much as an empty shell, a networking boot camp for future private contractors dreaming of big paydays."

* MTP:

"MS. KORNBLUT (NYT): Well, it’s not only a challenge for Lieberman, but it’s really a test of if taking a principled stand can work in a Democratic primary. Lieberman, as I said earlier, has been further out there than some of the other Democrats who initially voted for the war. But at the same time, his unwillingness to move at all is really what’s on the ballot here, and it’s actually—I think it will forecast something for Hillary Clinton moving into 2008."

wtf?
