Dean's disappointing show so far has left me somewhat demoralised on the whole diary front, but this little gem sure perked me up:
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice has agreed to be interviewed by the bipartisan 9/11 commission on Feb. 7, after weeks of resistance from the White House to the bipartisan panel's requests, The Observer has learned.
In a Feb. 3 interview the newly minted commission member Bob Kerrey, the former Senator from Nebraska, now the president of the New School University, said that Ms. Rice's interview will not be held under oath, and the results of the interview are not to be made public.
But as the Bush administration fights to limit the scope and time allotted to the independent commission investigating a broad array of failures leading up to and during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Mr. Kerrey is emerging as a strong antagonist to their efforts to contain the political damage.
Mr. Kerrey, the commission's unlikely new spitfire, told The Observer he would lobby the comission to request sworn, public testimony from Bush's embittered national security advisor.

Beautiful! Just beautiful! Imagine Rice, squirming under oath, answering those questions with gritted teeth. After months of her smug and condescending it would be so nice to watch her nasty little web of lies come undone.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaargh!
