To paraphrase Claude Raines, "I'm shocked. Shocked! To find that politics are being played here!"
As "The Bride" in "Kill Bill" would say, "Hmmm." Why is it that every time you read about some unsavory character in the middle east, Richard Perle's name comes attached? Josh Marshall has an interesting theory regarding the backstory to this report.
Two links from Amy Sullivan today. First, the sad irony of Bush's signing ceremony (Eschaton comments even more pointedly). And, secondly, a short review of Clark's performance on that stupid "Rock the Vote" which I didn't see (like nearly every one in the universe, I haven't watched a single Dem debate -- to me, it's like watching a spring training second team game).

I agree with Harvey Araton, it's ridiculous that Donny Baseball is even being mentioned as a successor to God...er...Joe Torre. But, Harvey, wait a minute, no one in the Yankee organization that I've heard is talking about Mattingly superceding Willie Randolph as the most likely candidate to be Yankees manager in 2005. Least of all Mattingly. The NY press has always had a crush on Mattingly. That said, if he can make Soriano into a spray hitter who doesn't swing at crap outside the strike zone, Mattingly would deserve to be canonized.
