Alberto Gonzales is wildly unpopular; every blogger choose him for their do-not-nominate list.

Chief Justice John Roberts’ political intuition could serve him well.

Bill Frist bashers should read this.

Mickey Kaus, on hurricane spin:
Hurricane Parties: It’s getting a bit confusing, what with the press revisionism and all. Let me make sure I’ve got the competing party lines down correctly–
Liberal position: Racist neglect caused poor New Orleans residents to suffer from the unspeakable things that only a racist would assume actually happened!
Conservative position: A fatherless [...]
