WHO???

I learn from Jane at Firedoglake that Lanny Davis, one of the beltway elite and nominal liberal Democrat, is supporting Ted Olsen to be the new Attorney General. I recall the name from David Brock's terrific book, The Republican Noise Machine but I don't recall the details. Fortunately, Digby hasn't forgotten and let's us know that Olsen was at least knee-deep in the American Spectator's infamous Arkansas Project. The Project was funded by alcoholic billionaire extremist Richard Mellon Scaife and did its best to destroy Bill Clinton.
