Miscellanea - Where Did the Weekend Go Edition

Two good links on the lefties today...the Washington Times notes that Harry Reid was taken to task by the New York Times for all the wrong reasons..meanwhile, George Will has more thoughts on that Peter Beinart piece, and wonders what Michael Moore was doing in Jimmy Carter's convention box (a couple of tips of the hat to RealClearPolitics)...

Even MORE on the Beinart article by Roger Simon (thanks to Hindrocket at Power Line). Simon can do without liberalism and conservatism, thank you very much, but he'll take a pound of democracy to go...

Newsday has two pieces of note on the Kerik Nannygate mess: this one says it takes a bite out of Rudy G., and in this corner, a possible answer to the bigger reason behind the withdrawal...

wretchard at the Belmont Club has a long, excellent piece on Kofi Annan and OilyGate (sorry, I just get tired of typing Oil-For-Food). Legal Disclaimer: OilyGate is a registered trademark of the United Nations. Any use of this phrase or rebroadcast without the expressed written consent of France and Russia is strictly prohibited...

Update 5:45 pm central: Newsweek claims that their phone call to the White House about an old arrest warrant was the straw that broke the camel's back on the Kerik nomination (hat tip to kausfiles)...
