From Josh Marshall:

Oh, That Tim Griffin

If you get a chance definitely take a look at Jim Rutenberg's piece on Drudge in the Times today, particularly on the Drudge-Hillary alliance of convenience.

But did anyone else notice this passage ...

Senior aides in the Bush war room, run by Steve Schmidt, a veteran Republican communications aide, insisted on vetting any information to be fed to Mr. Drudge so as not to annoy and overwhelm him with items he might find unworthy. And, these officials said, when the approval was given, the main point of contact was usually the Bush aide who was closest to Mr. Drudge, J. Timothy Griffin, now a consultant to the campaign of Fred D. Thompson, the former Republican senator from Tennessee.

Rutenberg doesn't mention it (and I suspect didn't make the connection). But that's none other than our pal, Tim Griffin, the guy at the center of the US Attorney scandal, the Rove aide who got a Patriot Act appointment to be the US Attorney in the Eastern District of Arkansas. Guess we were on firm ground saying he had a pretty strong partisan profile.

1. When we finally get to the bottom of the attorney scandel

every single one of the participants should be sent directly to jail.

2. Don't you love hows he's working for GOP Presidential candidate Fred Thompson?

If we had a media, it should would be great if they asked Fred about his consultant and what role he will play.
