THE Pardongate-tainted head of the U.S. Holocaust Museum has finally lost his cushy gig. George W. Bush recently booted Rabbi Irving Greenberg as chairman of the museum's Memorial Council. Greenberg disgraced the publicly funded institution by lobbying Bill Clinton to pardon Marc Rich. The council blasted Greenberg last year, passing a resolution to disassociate itself from the plea he made to Bubba on museum stationery. Texas businessman Fred S. Zeidman is taking over.
And this:
We hear . . . THAT New School staffers are wondering why at least $1 million is being spent on a gut rehab of the West 11th Street townhouse where new president Bob Kerrey will live when deans are quitting because their budgets are so strapped . . .
Is Kerrey planning to run? John F. Heinz Kerry won't like it - too much name confusion.
In 1977 Waxman received his law degree from Yale Law School [law school friend of the Clintoons?]; became visiting professor at Georgetown University when Bush took office; in addition to Justice Dept., formerly worked with D.C. firm of Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin; currently with Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering; no friend of the 2nd Amendment (look here)
Whoever said it would be a hoot is right! Imagine that thread: The GUILD LIVE AT The Republican National Convention!
McConnell's defense team is made up of legal heavyweights such as First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams, former U.S. Court of Appeals Judge and ex-Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr and prominent campaign finance attorney James Bopp. McCain-Feingold supporters are depending on former FEC Commissioner Trevor Potter, Washington lawyer Roger Witten, former U.S. Solicitor General Seth Waxman and others to defend the bill in court.
Shaping up to be a great final 4! 
Just remember the McCain team is lead by our own Ted Olsen. He will act as lead attorney, by statue of his position.

Check this site or call your state party. They will tell you how to be a delegate. The conventions aren't just what you see on the floor. There are parties from breakfast into the wee hours of the night. I have been to 5 National Conventions and every single one was just a blast. 2000 in Philly was incredible.
Getting involved in Republican politics is the first step in getting nominated as a delegate. And if you can't get in as a Delegate, you can go as a volunteer for your party to help with a litany of events.
My father went as a delegate when I was a teen. We kids & mom went as volunteers. We had a lot more fun. He had to stay on the floor to vote. We could watch from balcony or go from place to place meeting all sorts of folks. I do think the volunteer route may be the best fun.
BUSH BABES IN FORCE!
DO YOU SUPPOSE THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION WOULD RECOGNIZE US AS A BRANCH? SPUR? OR SOMETHING?
"THE GUILD" A POLITICAL FORCE! HA
P.S. We have a Russell Stover outlet in town!
Other members of McConnell's legal team will include
James Bopp, general counsel for the James Madison Center for Free Speech;
Bobby Burchfield, a lawyer whose firm represented challengers in a 1974 case involving campaign spending limits;
election lawyer Jan Baran;
and Kathleen Sullivan, dean of the Stanford University Law School.
