TODAY'S SHOW: FRIDAY, APRIL 25TH 2008
White House counsel Fred Fielding almost died this week. What nefarious beast nearly took his life? Lamb testicles! Well, it may not have been the testicles exactly but that's what was being served at the well attended all-male, all-Republican bash Fielding was attending when he choked. Luckily the Heimlich maneuver was administered and Fielding lives to defend Karl Rove another day.
On today's show Rachel will be talking to New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau about his new book, Bush's Law: The Remaking of American Justice
MENTIONED ON TODAY'S SHOW
The policemen who shot Sean Bell were found not guilty of all charges
Hillary goes after McCain for saying that we should bulldoze the Lower Nineth Ward in New Orleans
Will Bagdad finally be getting what it needs most? An amusement park? (For cultural reference, read Rachel's recommended reading, Pride of Baghdad)
OK, I'm outta here
I'd say, "Don't say or do anything interesting today while I'm gone", but I know you will, anyway. I'm just sorry I'm going to miss the story about the lamb's testicles. Why is it Republican guys always thump their chests about how "manly" they are, then turn around and do something kinda makes you go, "huh"? That was, of course, a rhetorical question.
"You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not by the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists"--Abbie Hoffman
