Randi sure does-- she thinks it was used to distract people from *'s appointing Wolf head of the World Bank.

I wouldn't be surprised.

God, another winner appointment-- good job, *

1. I thought it was
but I'm not sure what they're masking. I don't think its Wolfowitz.

But then I think back and what was it ... two? ... three? State of the Union speeches ago and the monkeyman was talking about it back then. Given that they'd had this arrow in their quiver a long time. I have to wonder why they shot it now. :shrug:

2. it was all about Tom Davis
he hopes to run for US Senate in 4 years and it gave him a chance to get some face time. That is all.

6. Speculation on Capital Gang tonight is that
there wasn't much going on regarding votes and TV time in Congress, so this story filled the bill, giving everyone some "face time" (and apparently there wasn't an empty seat in the hearings)as well as giving the cable news stations something to air that didn't waste any of their brain cells (my analysis). The media is just damned lazy.
