...More surprising to those who didn't know him in person is his successful recasting as a wonk. Smart, candid and capable of an objectivity that seems downright fair-minded, Rove has won over even some who were more comfortable viewing him as a dark strategic overlord. Reviewers at the New York Times and Slate have called him "mild-mannered," "dispassionate," "generous" and even "graceful." "He makes his case well and comes across as thoughtful and fair," says Bush's chief of staff, Josh Bolten. "I'm surprised that people are surprised at that...

"I fundamentally disagree with the suggestion that any of this is depraved," Mosley told the court. "I think it is a perfectly harmless activity provided it is between consenting adults who want to do it, are of sound mind, and it is in private." Testimony from the women involved make the sexcapade sound even more mundane...
...least Ward is being candid. Call it a new twist on the 9/11 Truth Movement. He and his boss, Governor Paterson, should be lauded for resisting false promises about the country's largest construction site. Their predecessors probably would have addressed the current crisis in confidence about the unfinished (and in many places unstarted) job site with yet another fake ribbon-cutting ceremony...
