BTW, I see that Movie of the Week Palin is trying to claim executive privilege on emails, and according to DK, some of them are copied to state’s rights Todd Palin (why do you hate America Todd?) I have to admire the sheer audacity of trying to expand executive privilege to include spousal privilege as well!</p> I guess they had to cut the lines about Obama and Biden being girly-men.

It will be harder for him to keep all the backbench wingnuts from saying anything stupid, and I think the press will push back after all the message control of the last couple of years. And I’m sure that Julie Couillard’s book will have its release date pushed up - maybe if AGAG had left his secret documents at his stunning girlfriend biker chick’s house the US media would have covered it as much as Sandy Berger’s document stuff!</p> Hey skdadl – I think it will be a much tougher election for Harper than the last one.

What bothers me is that there are a lot, really a lot of Harpie scandals just maturing right now, but the public haven’t caught up because it was summer, and then some of those scandals are kind of wonkish in the first place. I think that’s why Harper’s decided to jump: he knows things can only get worse for him from now on, although his numbers have held through the summer. </p> <p>Mr Why @ 50: really, I hear that Iceland is cozy.</p> Hi, Ishmael.
