In the Gleeful Cackling Department, Karl Rove and Josh Bolten were found in contempt of Congress for failing to cooperate with investigations into the firing of U.S. attorneys.

In the Our Primary Field is Better than Your Primary Field Department, conservative elites do not heart Huckabee. Really? And Joe Biden has a plan for Iraq he named after himself?

In the Congress Finally Recognizes the Obvious Department, the House voted to ban the CIA from using "harsh interrogation techniques" like waterboarding. This is obviously a classic softy-liberal move, since waterboarding, as Rob has pointed out, is just like going for a leisurely swim, but with CIA agents. Or possibly Uzbek or Macedonian intelligence officers. Anyway, the point is, this is a good move, since even if Bush vetoes it, the symbolic importance of the House taking a stand against torture is a step in the right direction.

Wait. We're talking about symbolic American opposition to torture? Something isn't right here. But that's about as good as it gets in this week's good news.
