I’ve posted that continuation of the Craig story over at Dkos and managed to set off a food fight: http://www.dailykos.com/storyo.....220/545927

How is your son? Is he going to make a public statement about what he is feeling about the Bush administration?

Or Obama and Craig are repeating what EW has referred to as “profoundly erroneous logic” as a strategy. How could they not know?

Hi Peter. Thanks. I’m not exactly trained for this stuff. I’ve wondered how Glenn does it. Does he have a staff? How big? He’s obviously skilled with Lexis/Nexis, etc. And probably very proficient with research tools I’ve never heard of. Also, a huge email network of some of the best of the blogosphere.

Not that I have any desire or illusions of competing, but simply that I admire his work so much. Every morning, I have these why-didn’t-I-see-that moments and where/how-did-he-come-up-with-that moments.

He’s superlative and he’s had a lot of traning and experience sorting out constitutional law. He can smell a bullshitter thousands of miles away and always does. He did it as a day job for many years. You did a nice job as well.

Thanks, but it looks like Glenzilla beat me to it: http://www.salon.com/opinion/g.....index.html

Glenzilla doesn’t leave scraps to chew on. Damn that guy is thorough!

Excellent posts and points you made at KOS. Make ‘em directly to Greg Craig by linking them to him and also some of the posts at FDL and at EW elucidating the real FISA/PAA story on these threads recently and the horrible shortcomings of the bill they are passing.

I sure as hell plan to do just that and I plan to link your posts and a number of them here for Craig and to make the points that we have been making for months. He needs to understand we aren’t the idiots he seems to perceive us to be. You don’t have to be a Williams and Connolly partner to get the legal nuances, the phony portrayal of this bill, and it components and the huge cover this administration’s ass and this congress’s ass implied by the immunity fiasco alone.
