Ari, Where Art Thou?

If you're going to throw someone under the train, why not throw former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer! That's the rumor around Washington as Fleischer's name is surfacing more and more in the Karl Rove leak case. Wonkette.com and Talkleft.com have some good updates on the role Ari may have had in the leak. One possibility is that Ari is Judy Miller's source. A far more declicious possibility is that Fitzgerald is building an even stronger case against Fleischer that will include perjury. Yummy.

The SCOTUS info that is coming out will be welcome news for Karl Rove as the press will finally have something else to obsess about for a couple of days. Looks like Edith Clement will be the next nominee for SCOTUS....oops. Looks like Bush fooled the Beltway crowd this time. For a quick look at the politcal upside/downside of Clement check out Redstate.org. This site has some predictions regarding her confirmation and the political fight that may begin tonight at 9:01. (Note: this is the same site that broke the "Renquist to Retire" story). We now know the nominee is John Roberts.
