Tom Tomorrow:
Bidness

–This is the original art I’ve got up for auction. I don’t think I’m going to put another one up at Christmas, so this is probably it for the foreseeable future. If you’re interested, I wouldn’t necessarily suggest waiting til the very last minute to bid.

–Some sort of technical snafu is delaying the switch to a new server. At some point in the next day or two, I expect we’ll have a little downtime. Bear with us.

–As previously mentioned, haven’t had a lot of time for blogging lately. To keep up with the latest in the Plame scandal, check in on Americablog and Firedoglake, and of course the Huffington Post.

But I thought the whole scandal was bogus

That’s what the conservatives have been telling us since day one. And yet…

Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) — A special counsel is focusing on whether Vice President Dick Cheney played a role in leaking a covert CIA agent’s name, according to people familiar with the probe that already threatens top White House aides Karl Rove and Lewis Libby.

The special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, has questioned current and former officials of President George W. Bush’s administration about whether Cheney was involved in an effort to discredit the agent’s husband, Iraq war critic and former U.S. diplomat Joseph Wilson, according to the people.

Fitzgerald has questioned Cheney’s communications adviser Catherine Martin and former spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise and ex-White House aide Jim Wilkinson about the vice president’s knowledge of the anti-Wilson campaign and his dealings on it with Libby, his chief of staff, the people said. The information came from multiple sources, who requested anonymity because of the secrecy and political sensitivity of the investigation.
