The New York Times [1] takes a look at how Hillary managed to spend $30 million on her re-election campaign over token opposition.
Also in the Times [2], the headline speaks for itself: "Intrepid Has Not Moved, but the Bill Has Risen to $60 Million". Aren't we lucky that money grows on trees?
The Washington Post [3]: NewsCorp, parent company of Fox "News" and other right-wing propaganda outfits, pulls the plug on O.J. Simpson's book deal and TV special. This is probably the first time that Rupert Murdoch has shown acquaintance with the concept of shame, and it only took a double murderer cashing in on his crime to make it happen. Yeah, yeah, "alleged double murderer", right. The Daily News has a field day - here [4] and here [5] and here [6].
That didn't take long [7]: the Democratic leadership shoots down that draft idea [8]. Republicans everywhere are probably breathing more easily today as they rant about 'Islamofascism' from the comfort of their parents' garages.
That didn't take long, Part II [9]: new state Senate Democratic leader Malcolm Smith calls for reform, oh, and a pay raise. Interesting tidbit from the article: Tom Duane "will likely become one of Smith's top deputies".
And lastly, via Political Wire [10], Newt bows out, sorta kinda with fingers crossed.
