John Roberts — a smooth-talking corporate lawyer turned appeals court judge, whose Waspy good looks and blue-chip credentials may conceal an ultraconservative legal agenda. The perfect Stealth nominee, in other words.

These guys just get more wacky by the minute. Now it turns out that Senator Rick Santorum has uncovered the cause of the Priest Sex Scandals…and all the blame rests on liberalism in Boston. You can read the complete article here.

Not surprisingly, after spending a couple of years strongly denying that Karl Rove was involved in the Valerie Plame leak, and Bush promising to fire anyone that was involved…all of a sudden no one in the administration can discuss the matter because there is an on-going investigation.

The Senate is poised to vote this month on a bill to permanently repeal the estate tax (a.k.a., the Paris Hilton Benefit Act). Hard-pressed to defend a bill that benefits such a minute few at the expense of so many, President Bush has been claiming that the estate tax (which he calls the “death tax”) hurts America’s farmers. But now we know just how dubious that argument is.

A lot is being made in the blogosphere about Karl Rove being involved in leaking the information that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent. Rove has never denied, and in classic lawyerly fashion, Rove’s attorney is choosing his words carefully. Rather than saying Rove “didn’t” provide any information, he is saying that Karl never “knowingly divulged confidential information.” From whence does his deniability derive?

This NOT a fake story…I repeat, this is true. You can read the whole thing in the Orlando Sentinal. Apparently, a few years ago, against policy and at the behest of then Secretary of State and now U. S. Representative Kathryn Harris, the State Dept. of Agriculture had to test “Celectial Drops” as a possible cure for Citrus Canker.

In an article in The Nation, David Corn explains how Rove the Toad’s attorney will try to keep him out of jail in Plamegate.
