I listened to Sarah Palin’s breathless Farewell Address set off by tweeting birds and cooing babies. I wish the speech had been set off by commas; I was exhausted by the pace.

What a slipshod affair it’s been between “Sparky” Sanford and his Argentine “soul mate.” This week the plot thickened in a chintzy Appalachian soap opera.

J. Edgar Hanaway?

I just sort of noticed this...isn't this interesting...follow my timeline here. March: Todd Graves suddenly resigns as U.S. Attorney in the WESTERN District. March and April: Suddenly EASTERN district attorney Catharine Hanaway makes the news left right and center, appears in print and TV in a whole boatload of busts ranging from porn to gun sales to online betting sites. (just go to news.google.com and type her name in and take a peek.) I have been pretty entertained by these busts when they show up on TV b/c she is getting a LOT of face time. It sort of reminds me of all those FBI busts in the 30's and 40's when other agents did the work and J. Edgar Hoover would make the newsreels and appear he made the collar personally!

I just have two questions:

1. Is there a concerted effort to put the EASTERN district in the news to take the attention off the WESTERN district, and the events surrounding Todd Graves' departure?

2. What is ol' Catherine planning to run for in the future? Looks to me like she's trying to build face on "tough on crime." Is she snooping for the state AG spot? Or something bigger?

in a word: yes

I, too, noticed "Cigars" Hannaway all over the place. This has to do with Schlozman, Graves replacement. Stay tuned.
