A few quick-hit gems worth noting from Josh Marshall and David Kurtz at TPM over the last day or two…<\/p>\n

SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Anticipate Karl Rove’s long-awaited testimony before Congress about the US Attorney firings sometime in early June, Rove’s lawyer tells TPMmuckraker<\/a>.

FIRST THEY CAME FOR ARLEN, NOW JOE<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Not to be outdone in an effort to eke out a few more minutes in the spotlight, Joe The Plumber announces he too has had enough and is leaving the Republican party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOT AS BRAVE AS WE USED TO BE<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Number of Gitmo detainees that the GOP hopes to keep off mainland U.S. soil with its “Keep Terrorists Out Of America Act<\/a>“: roughly 250.<\/p>\n

Number of Axis POWs detained in camps<\/a> on the U.S. mainland at the end of WWII: roughly 425,000.

Can it really be true that the list of Americans who will appear on the Sunday shows<\/a> this weekend is David Petraeus, Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich and John McCain?<\/p>\n

I guess it really is a center-right nation.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our observation on the final item above: Looks like those old “Liberal Media” are still partying like it’s 1999<\/strike> 2007. Color us shocked. Shocked!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
