I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY: HASTERT AND FRIST DO WANT A TREASON INVESTIGATION AFTERALL

Yep, I was driving home from lunch with Craig at our favorite sushi restaurant in L.A., Katsu-Ya, and there was a report on NPR about Hastert and Frist calling for an exhaustive investigation into a serious national security leak. Which senator, they wanted to know, leaked the existence of BushCo secret torture chambers in Eastern Europe? Oy, I figured. If these two fascist pigs are squawking so loud they must know it was some Democrat running his mouth. Damn! This is gonna be a major attempt to derail a serious treason investigation into Cheney's WHIG cabal and get people to focus on some schnook like Carl Levin or Jay Rockefeller instead.

But it looks like the laugh's on Hastert and Frist after all BECAUSE THE LEAKER IS A REPUBLICAN!! At least that is what Republican Senator Trent Lott told CNN. Lott claims all the details of the POST story had been discussed at a very private meeting of Republican Senators last week. Lott may be a racist jerk but sometimes-- especially when an opportunity to revenge himself on the loathsome insider-trader Frist appears-- he can be right on. "We cannot remain silent," said Lott. "We have met the enemy, and it is us." No one will cop to it yet but it'll be great to see how hard Frist and the fat wrestling teacher from Illinois push for an investigation now.
