What'd We Miss?
Did we miss anything?
I mean, aside from Bush's surprise visit to Iraq and Katie's Baghdad trip (more on that later) and the no-hitter and Senator Craig's post-dated resignation – well, you may have seen us discuss it on "Reliable Sources" this past weekend – and Appalachian State and Hurricane Felix and that new book on President Bush, not to mention Jerry Lewis going all Andrew "Dice" Clay on his telethon.
Yeah, we mean aside from those things.
We're back on the trail this morning, but in light of our having been out for most of the Craig story, we wanted to highlight two thought-provoking opinion columns about his now infamous bathroom escapade.
First, a bit of contrarianism from a political scientist at UC-Santa Barbara (who heads a research center that focuses on homosexual minorities in the military), wondering why police can apprehend people based on hints of potential impropriety: "A Sting He Didn't Deserve."
And second, a bit of schadenfreude from Slate's William Saletan who sees Craig being punished by the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy he helped enact: "Hypocritical? Don't Ask."
Hope everyone had a great holiday.
