Countdown - Cave in
I agreed with John Edwards when he said we should just send the White House the same bill over and over again. That had support. For reasons that completely unclear to me and to Keith Olbermann, Democrats folded. It is disheartening. It is a sign that having a Democratic majority isn’t enough. We have to have the right Democrats in office.

From MSNBC:
A Special Comment about the Democrats’ deal with President Bush to continue financing this unspeakable war in Iraq—and to do so on his terms:
This is, in fact, a comment about… betrayal.
Few men or women elected in our history—whether executive or legislative, state or national—have been sent into office with a mandate more obvious, nor instructions more clear:
Get us out of Iraq.
Yet after six months of preparation and execution—half a year gathering the strands of public support; translating into action, the collective will of the nearly 70 percent of Americans who reject this War of Lies, the Democrats have managed only this:
Ms. Monica in front of the House
Republicans pandered. Democrats smelled something rotten.

From MSNBC:
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., hammered Goodling on her decisions to hire prosecutors who favored Republicans.
“Do you believe they were illegal or legal?” Scott asked.
“I don’t believe I intended to commit a crime,” Goodling, a lawyer, answered.
“Did you break the law? Is it against the law to take those considerations into account?” Scott said.
“I believe I crossed the line, but I didn’t mean to,” she responded.
Goodling told the House committee that she and others at the Justice Department fully briefed McNulty, who is resigning later this year, about the circumstances before his Feb. 6 testimony in front of a Senate panel. Goodling also said Kyle Sampson, who resigned in March as chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, compiled the list of prosecutors who were purged last year.
“To the best of my knowledge, I never had a conversation with Karl Rove or Harriet Miers while I served at the Department of Justice and I’m certain I never spoke to either of them about the hiring or firing of any U.S. attorney,” Goodling said in her opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee.

“I don’t believe that I intended to commit a crime.” What a bunch of lawyer speak!!! I’m 100% positive that there is something rotten in the cotton. The problem is that we are playing out an episode of Law and Order where it is clear that one of the twins killed the man but they both point the finger at each other and so everyone is confused. How could you not know if you spoke to Karl Rove? A conservative not knowing if they met Karl Rove. Somebody get me a barf bag I’m about to puke.
Goodling Testifies in morning
Monica Goodling will have plenty of questions in front of the House Judiciary Committee. It seems that she may have tried to block hiring of a nonconservative appointment.
Carlos Mencia - Keepin’ it real
Mencia is funny. He is smackin’ the rappers who rap about everything except being in prison. So, he is rappin’ about it.
BMJ - Race and Politics
Now, this is not the same old thing. This is what Bill Moyers does very well. He finds someone you have never heard of (Melissa Harris-Lacewell) and then discusses a subject that is familiar to everyone. We have all heard 15 discussions on Race and Politics in the last year. This conversation is different. This is real information. There is a real honesty. This is GREAT.
