This Is A Good Idea

Anyone out there having trouble keeping up with all the Republican Scandals? I know I am. Well, that job is about to get a lot easier, thanks to Josh Marshall:

There are a lot of trial dates, court appearances and sentencing hearings coming up in the next months -- the DeLay case, Abramoff fixer David Safavian's trial, the Gus Boulis murder trial, the Duke Cunningham case and a lot more.

Many of you have been writing in asking for info about when this or that court date is coming up. So tomorrow we'll be a rolling out a new feature. It's a timeline, but about future events not stuff that's already happened. We're calling it the Grand Old Docket.

We'll post a link when it's up.

And speaking of G.O.P. scandals, Republicans are now calling for the Bush Regime to publicly disclose White House contacts with Jack Abramoff:

Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, who appeared with Thune on "Fox News Sunday," said all White House correspondence, phone calls and meetings with Abramoff "absolutely" should be released.

"I think this president is a man of unimpeachable integrity," Pence said. "The American people have profound confidence in him. And as Abraham Lincoln said, "Give the people the facts and republican governance perhaps will be saved."'

Unimpeachable integrity. God that's funny.

My advice to Bush: Hold off as long as possible before coming clean on all this. After all, the longer you wait, the less it looks like you are trying to hide something.
