- I told you that Carl Levin as head of the Armed Services Committee was a good thing. According to Salon's War Room, one of the first things Levin plans to do is investigate Bush's "extraordinary rendition" program.
- The Republican members of the Senate have voted to resurrect Trent Lott as their new Minority Whip. I'm sure Senator Lott is a very nice guy (seems like it when he visits The Daily Show), but he has really embarrased himself by some of the stupid stuff he says. I'll go further: Lott is essentially the Republican John Kerry -- lovely man personally, good at the politicking and backroom deals, but always shoots self in foot publically. Though at least Kerry's not a closet racist.
- James Carville is apparently trying to depose Howard Dean as the head of the Democratic National Committee. Carville thinks that the DNC were holding back money that they should have ponied up for some minor congressional races. Carville wanted Harold Ford (yeah, that guy) to take over. I'm not a big fan of Ford myself, as I think he's a phony. (Not that Bob Corker was any less of a phony, mind you.) Carville didn't succeed, but he's complaining to the press. He referred to what he thoughts were Dean's missteps as "Rumsfeldian." Harsh! If Dean made any missteps, it was not dealing with the Republican Congressional Committee's incessant robocalls (though it took folks awhile to catch on to what was going on). I think that otherwise, he did pretty good.
