McClellan channels Orwell

Scott McClellan's recent assertion that the Senate has all the information they need to make a decision about John Bolton - justifying the Administration's failure to comply with the Senate's request for deminimized NSA intercepts as given to the candidate - might be summed up as follows:

All branches of government are co-equal, but some branches are more co-equal than others.

Newt and Hillary

The NYT saying that Newt Gingrich is expressing support for Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential candidacy. What's up with that?

Here's my guess. Newt thinks - as I do - that Hillary would be an incredibly easy candidate for the Republicans to defeat. He thinks - as I do - that she would either win the primary, or, in the course of the primary, do a lot of damage to whichever Democrat defeats her.

Newt wants the Republicans to win, so he's supporting Hillary.

You heard it here first.
