Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

My impression of the Rice testimony flap was closer to Eric's than to my brother's. David Gergen certainly expressed the view, hours before it was announced that she was testifying, that the White House was in a hole and should stop digging. In this case I'm not upset at the administration for caving, but my impression of other people's impression is that it looks like the administration has been dragged kicking and screaming into being up front and honest, and I don't see what they've gained in exchange for creating this appearance.
