It's getting hard out there on the pimps and cons in the CIA, first Director Goss goes down the tubes, and now his right hand man Foggo has copped a sweet plea. Just how did Foggo get such an unheard of sweetheart deal from the Bush Justice Department? They wanted to clean up evidence of their corruption, dishonesty and perfidy and have once again used the false cover of national security to cover their rears.

Surprise surprise--just hours after they scripted Sarah to make jokes about Biden's age, the McPalin campaign is launching another fit of outrage by claiming a joke about McCain's erratic behavior was about his age. But I guess that means jokes and discussions about McCain's age are okay now?

Accordingly, her family will be with her in Sedona during this week.

And why not? After all, McCain said he was responsible this morning. One thing that works in our favor for the CW (in assigning the blame for this to the Republicans) is that most TV pundits are so solidly members of the village, they can't imagine sacrificing Wall Street to the fates of the free market.
