Two good stories (and maybe more by the time I get done with the papers) about Birkett’s role in the Cruz Case.

Lincoln Chafee needs a food taster according to John Breaux. Actually, the Rs can’t lose him. If they did, Rhode Island elects a Dem in his place. They ought to have learned to treat him with kid gloves given his threats to defect. You don’t see any spanking Zell around do you?
