Tom Maguire provides a link-filled primer for reporters, bloggers and pundits interested in the whole Joseph Wilson affair. It's been awhile since I've seen a bigger bunch of political nothin'. The silly season is upon us.

The "Today" show report I mentioned earlier was done by Jamie Gangel, not Katie Couric. However, if this is a complete and accurate account of the Joseph Wilson interview, then I was, once again, correct -- softballs only. The only semi-challenging question of Wilson was on the charge that he is/was a Democrat partisan. Gangel: […]
NBC teased Thursday's "Today" show which will feature a Katie Couric interview with discredited former ambassador Joseph Wilson. I'm going to go way out on a very sturdy limb and predict a huge softball interview (and with my body clock so out of whack from jet lag and a drastically changed sleep schedule here in […]
Today's nutty statement of the day comes courtesy of The Washington Post's Bob Woodward. In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Woodward offered to serve part of New York Times reporter Judith Miller's time for contempt of court as a show of solidarity. WOODWARD: I would have done it, too. And in fact, you […]
In one, Bush adviser Karl Rove is the devil, in the other he's a saint. The more accurate of the two editorials notes that former ambassador Joseph Wilson has been exposed as a liar; the other paints him as a victim -- unbelievable. It's interesting to note that the New York Times claims that "Mr. […]
Well, it's been over a year since my driver's expired -- and the guy at the check-in counter was the first to notice. An expired license is the same as having no ID at all, which means: secondary screening. Overall, no big deal. The guys searching me were quite personable and professional. They both got […]
Checked out the new movie "Fantastic Four" at the theater. I did my usual -- going to the last showing of the night. Only about eight people were in the audience, which is nice. The film is fun, but isn't paced very well. It's about an hour and 45 minutes long, but it feels short […]
Patterico has an excellent idea to protect the rights of the minority party from being trampled by a bare majority. You know, conservatives have lost a lot of 5-4 decisions over the past few years in the Supreme Court. Some have upset the Justices in the minority only slightly. Others, like Casey (which reaffirmed Roe […]
Randy "Duke" Cunningham isn't the only congressman who stinks -- Rep. Charles Rangel stinks too. Rep. Charles Rangel has written to lobbyists who represent corporate interests before the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, where he is the ranking Democrat, asking for contributions from $1,000 to $10,000 "to underwrite" his 75th birthday party. Sen. Hillary […]
Once America's most prestigious paper, The New York Times continues to go down the tubes. Today's column by Frank Rich would be acceptable, if questionable, journalism had it been published on or before July 6, 2004. Today, it's just a big correction waiting to happen -- that is, if editorial page editor Gail Collins had […]
