All the winger huff-and-puff about partisanship on the 9/11 Commission—eminently predictable, as soon as they got any traction at all—seems to be all for naught (crossed fingers). So much for the hack job on Gorelick.

Why? I think the Commissions's decision to let Cheney and his sock puppet testify together is looking better and better all the time: It didn't gain Bush a thing, and how could a Commission that lets Bush and Cheney get away with this possibly be partisan? Rope-a-dope...

Kean isn't looking so bad right now. New Jersey columnist Bob Braun writes in the Newark Star Ledger:

"Silly statement," Kean growled at a news conference the other day. "He should stay out of our business."

Whoa! Tom Kean said that?

About F. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee?

Kean -- who, in decades of public life, almost has never shown irritation -- put down Sensenbrenner because the Wisconsin Republican called for the resignation of Jamie Gorelick, a member of the 9/11 commission that Kean heads.

Pass the popcorn!
