In Brief:

A roundup of my insta-take (I suppose Insta-Glenn[*1] has that copyrighted?) on some recent news items:

Unauthorized Plame “Leak” authorized by President[*2] — Well, um, that would make it “authorized” then, wouldn’t it?

Tom Delay calls it quits[*3] — Mr. Delay seems to be an unpleasant sort. But prosecutor Ronnie Earle is the character in this little play who is the truly dangerous one–a political witch-hunter of the first order.

Senate comes to agreement on illegal immigration[*4] — I haven’t paid a lot of attention to this but the more serious and responsible bloggers I read are not encouraged by the Senate’s compromise. And, Harry Reid seems to like it, which is never a good sign.

Cynthia McKinney[*5] — Throw the book at her, bounce her from Congress, let her spend some quality time in the friendly local Federal penitentiary. And that’s just for her utterly offensive “cry racism” defense ploy.
