Fitz pre-empted any news dump this week

[Walt Starr]

Had Fitz done anything yesterday, the Miers dropout would have been the news dump today.

Now, the idiots have nothing to really dump!

1. Agreed - I love this man!!

A more critical view was offered by Waterloo attorney and former U.S. Rep. Dave Nagle.

"It's a bad sign," Nagle said. "It means the administration, which is already in trouble, instead of reaching to the middle, is going to try to appease its conservative base.

"The second thing is, it is a terribly cynical maneuver to have her withdraw on a morning when indictments are anticipated," Nagle said referring to a grand jury probe of White House leaks of an undercover CIA agent's identity. "This is a very cynical attempt to manage news by 'feeding' one story to take away the focus on the federal prosecutor's announcements, anticipated later today or Friday."

It's like waiting until the day after ratification of the Iraqi constitution earlier this week to announce that the U.S. troop death toll there has now topped 2,000, Nagle suggested. "The 2,000th soldier had been killed the previous Friday," he said.

2. Uh, no he didn't.

If anything he made a news dump easier.

The cuts to food stamps, for example.

And there was a story about some kinda serious military malfeasance but I lost the link.

I'm sure it was a longer, steamier, stinkier dump than usual. And you can probably peice it together just by looking over in GD: Everything Else
