Lucky Sperm Club

Time for the Sunday morning comics:

Arianna Huffington (of The Huffington Post) was interviewed on Real Time with Bill Maher about the Plame case. Good overview of the case, including the Judy Miller/NYT angle.

Best line: Both George W. Bush and Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., publisher of the Times, are members of the Lucky Sperm Club. Birth, not brains, was the biggest qualification for the jobs they now hold.

For another take on this, you can also see the Al Franken interview on Letterman, discussing the criminal aspects of the case.

Franken: "George H. W. Bush, the president's father, was the head of the CIA, and he has said that outing a CIA agent is treason. So basically, what it looks like is going to happen, is that Libby and Karl Rove are going to be executed. Yes, and I don't know how I feel about it because I'm basically against the death penalty."

Letterman's response: "The real crime is that there's an adult man walking around in the current administration named Scooter."
