Today’s edition of items that definitely deserve attention, but which I just didn’t get to today.<\/p>\n
* As a rule, when a member of Congress sends personal emails to a 16-year-old page, and asks how old he is, what he wants for his birthday, and requests a photo of him<\/a>, there’s something not quite right about the situation.<\/p>\n * Like Josh Marshall, I think it’s too late<\/a> for Bob Woodward to redeem himself, but that doesn’t mean his next book won’t be interesting<\/a>.<\/p>\n * Speaking of Woodward, he says 2006 has been bad in Iraq, but 2007 will be worse<\/a>.<\/p>\n * I feel entirely comfortable saying that Katherine Harris has had the worst campaign in the nation this year, but New York’s Jeanne Pirro, who was running for the Senate against Hillary Clinton, but is now running for state Attorney General, is a close second<\/a>.<\/p>\n * The war in Iraq, on top of its cost in human life, now costs $2 billion a week<\/a>. Wow.<\/p>\n * Fred Barnes thinks George Allen is still a viable presidential candidate<\/a> for 2008. That sounds more than a little silly<\/a> at this point. * OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto is still<\/i> trying to attack Clinton’s pre-9\/11 counter-terrorism efforts. And he’s still wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n * Lieberman’s not sure he can forgive Democrats<\/a> who have endorsed Lamont? To me, the far bigger question is whether Dems who have endorsed Lamont can forgive Lieberman.<\/p>\n

\n* Is the Bush-McCain Torture Bill<\/a> worse<\/i> than the Alien and Sedition Act? Maybe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
