Hubris alert: Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), who won a contested primary with the President's help now has the gall to "warn" President Bush about Supreme Court nominations. All of a sudden, I miss Pat Toomey.

In sadder news, Attorney General John Ashcroft is expected to resign. He is a true patriot, who has done so much to keep all of us safe, and has received nothing but the calumny of lesser men because of it. Why don't we email him here to thank him for his service? I have known him at least slightly for years -- and he's a wonderful person, nothing like the image the media has tried so hard to create!
