Blue Radar

As I post each morning, here are some of the political stories thatmight not be worthy of their own posts, but are nonetheless newsworthy:

• Today, Congressman Jay Inslee (D-WA) will introduce articles of impeachment against Alberto Gonzales.
• In an interview with CBS radio, Dick Cheney said he was a "big fan" of Alberto Gonzales.  "I think Al has done a good job under difficult circumstances," said Cheney.
• Dick Cheney will appear on Larry King Live on Tuesday night.  This is his first appearance on that show since his last throes comment back in 2005.
• The latest energy bill that recently passed the Senate contains a hidden provision, never debated on, that makes new nuclear plants eligible for tens of billions of dollars worth of loan guarantees.
• National Republican Campaign Committee chairman Tom Cole is urging Republicans to stop snubbing the Youtube debate, which is in September.
• Chief Justice John Roberts went to the hospital after suffering a seizure at around 2 PM yesterday.
• GOP presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani is accusing Democrats of wanting to create a nanny government: "That's what makes America great, not this nanny government thatDemocrats want to give us, where government controls your entire life."  (Nanny government?  You mean like the Patriot Act, warrantless eavesdropping and infiltrating antiwar groups?)
• Strangely, Mitt Romney has been asked two times recently about a rumored superhighway that free trade proponents want to create, which would connect Mexico with Canada, and would go through Kansas City.  Romney has said in both cases that he would oppose such a plan if he were president.
• 2008 General Election (Rasmussen): Obama leads Giuliani 47% to 41%.  Obama leads Thompson 46% to 40%.

If we left anything out, feel free to add any stories in the commentbox.
