Kevin Drum links to this editorial by Niall Ferguson. Kevin predicts we'll be hearing a lot more of Ferguson's pontifications about Iran (and others like them) in the coming months. I suspect he's right. The Karl Rove playbook calls for another cynical repetition of fearmongering in a desperate attempt to hang on to Congress in the midterm elections. Read below the fold...

I saw the leader of the land shooting a spitball
It had a plastic cap, killed a boy out in the hall
Blood was spilling everywhere, it was quite a mess
He blamed it on the CIA and got them to confess Read below the fold...

To call last week's ScAlito hearings "Kabuki" is a grave insult to Traditional Japanese Theater.
But there were plenty of theatrics. The Dem's rehearsed, polite outrage. I wonder which of Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham's lines was the cue for Mrs. Scalito to start the waterworks.
Despite the drama, the outcome was pre-determined. Everyone knows how a tragedy will end. Read below the fold...

QUICK UPDATE: Day 4.
Morning session has begun, and I'm watching and noting. I am also dealing with a sick dog, so some of my attention has been distracted.
In summary - mostly Democrats have used their time, Republicans are holding back, reserving their time for later, or perhaps the end. There will be an executive session at some point before lunch, and the afternoon will be taken up with witness panels for and against.
