- Harris recasts herself as loyal but maverick GOP candidate
  Posted by Billbar from Heraldtribune
  Polls have shown Harris as much as 32 percentage points behind Nelson, and she has struggled to raise money. She has also struggled to distance herself from questions about her dealings with a corrupt defense contractor, who in February admitted in federal court that he gave Harris illegal campaign donations. Yes, THAT corrupt defense contractor - Mitchell Wade.

- Getting Past the Watergate Fixation
  Posted by Billbar from Alternet
  Today, "the largest corruption scandal in a century" is not WatergateGate -- it is the everyday performance of the U.S. government. The worst sleaze in Washington is mainly legal, as the old saying goes.

  On the Goss resignation: “The turf-battle line is purely a cover story,” said a former CIA official I spoke with. “The reason they had to act now was because they were scared about what's going to come out about [the Cunningham scandal].”

How the CIA Came Unglued
Helps in understanding the machinations with the CIA. Background on Foggo is interesting.

What happened to the media's love of sex scandals?
I watched the NewsHour on PBS Friday hoping for something in-depth. Nope. Heck, they barely even mentioned that Goss resigned without a replacement ready for him. Helen Thomas has a new book out about the MSM. It's mentioned at Crooks and Liars: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/05/06.html#a8186
