are provided by the lovable republicans of the Bush administration...

The top talking point for this week will probably be the early morning Monday appointment of Samuel Alito to replace the Harriett Miers disaster of a nomination for the Supreme court seat being vacated by Sandra Day Oconnor

and the carry over story of the week is the indictment issued against "Scooter" Libby in the CIA leak case. To start the week off right, Drudge has an exclusive reporting that Vice President Dick Cheney will be called as a witness in the trial of Libby, thus setting off a cool little executive privelege dispute.

So, once again for like the 30 week in a row, the Bush administration gets 5 stars for it's consistently interesting lineup of entertainment :okthumb:

If the VP claims executive privledge it will be an interesting pitched battle to see if they can't get Cheney to testify. I have ZERO doubt Fitzgerald will take it all the way to the USSC to try and get him to testify.
