Who declassified Santorum’s Folly?

Steve raises a good point:

“Do you wonder like me why Santorum and Hoekstra chose this week to embarrass themselves, at a time when Santorum is heading for a huge drubbing in November? Guess who helped these two roll out this ridiculous claim this week? Our Director of National Intelligence.

So let me get this straight. Negroponte is now using his position to play a partisan role in the 2006 election? He is politicizing intelligence? Or does this go higher?…read on“

Did Santorum show classified documents to FOX about his WMD’s scam?

Greg Sargent picked up my original assertion the other night that Rick might have violated federal laws by holding up a classified document to the camera on H&C: I wrote

“If that is the document that’s classified, isn’t little Ricky breaking about a gazillion different federal laws by exposing them? I’ve taken the precaution of blackening it a bit. Of course, I’m no attorney, but I believe this is the law.”

Latest missive from Joe Libelman Weekly

It’s a bizarre phenomenon, the blogosphere. It radiates democracy’s
dream of full participation but practices democracy’s nightmare of
populist crudity, character-assassination, and emotional stupefaction.

I think they mean that they are working that our friends over at The Nasty Republicans, are working this side of the street. Rest assured you guys have the blogsphere beat cold in all of those departments.

Bruce Springsteen is one of the best advocates for progessive politics in America — and his smackdown of Coulter works, too: O?BRIEN: In 2004 you came out very strongly in support of John Kerry and performed with him - your fellow guitarist, I think is how you introduced him to the crowd. And some people gave you a lot of flack for being a musician who took a political stand. I remember??SPRINGSTEEN: Yeah, they should let Ann Coulter do it instead.

Chief executives of U.S. corporations earned 262 times the pay of the average worker in 2005, the second-highest level in the 40 years the data’s been kept, an economic research group said this week.

Last year, the average CEO was paid $10.9 million a year, or 262 times an average worker’s earnings of $41,861, the Economic Policy Institute said Wednesday.

The research group also found a CEO earned more in one workday in 2005 than an average worker earned in 52 weeks.

The group includes salary, bonuses, stock options and other payments in its definition of CEO pay.
