Let's start with - who else - Larry Craig! News flash: it Thanksgiving, and he still hasn't resigned. And probably never will. He will exit no doubt at the same time the next Democratic President is elected - in January 2009. This shit stain on the GOP will be ebbing, flowing, and smellin' up the joint, it is now apparent, well into the 2008 election year.
That gives the Democrats, especially now with Romney faltering in the polls and Rudy's skeletons starting to come out the woodwork, a major chance to take advantage of the primary season which will start in January to COLLECTIVELY start pounding the GOP on ethics and good government and inside-the-beltway politics. The latter issue will make Hillary cringe, but she'll be best served if she weathers that storm and wins the nomination, as it will take her right into the main election season this fall with likely one or two Republican scandals active in time for the public to chew on before they vote. Kerik and Craig could give the GOP nominee an Advil headache. Huckabee, however, may be able to raise above the fray if he is the nominee, if he can stay in long enough to be considered for the nomination.
O.J.'s recent hearing for standing trial in infamous "I want my stuff back" raid in Las Vegas, although pending, is somewhat turning in O.J.'s favor. Now the judge isn't so sure O.J. conspired or planned an armed assault, or that his plan to get his stuff back was incorporated with an intent to come in armed. As I've said, I think he's gonna walk on this....
and Michael Nutter, mayor-elect of Philadelphia, has just named former DC Chief of Police Charles Ramsey as successor to tired-assed-old current police commissioner Sylvester Johnson.
Good, a change much needed. Ramsey, who was head of the DC Metropolitan police during the DC sniper case of 2003 and oversaw the Chandra Levy murder case of 2001 (THE story before 9/11 that summer), is more than equipped for the job. During the high-profile murder, which implicated a U.S. Senator, and the overall state of emergency with the snipers on the loose, he was diligent, cool-headed, took leadership, and kept agencies well-coordinated. And he caught those guys in what was a tough case to track for an M.O. He'll be testing his skills while trying to put a lid on a virtually lawless Philadelphia.
oh...and today's weather: 63 in New York, 68 in Philly, 71 in DC. sunny and very nice, but rain and a lot colder weather is on the way...
