“Today we find that Andrew Breitbart’s source for the smear attack against Rep. Anthony Weiner, Dan Wolfe (aka @patriotusa76) has deleted his entire Twitter account.” Something to do with those leaked emails, perhaps? [Little Green Footballs, Smoking Gun]

Dr. Jack Kevorkian Dies at 83; Backed Assisted Suicide [NYT]

A federal grand jury in North Carolina has indicted Johnny from the Mill on six charges of violating campaign finance law for accepting large campaign donations and using them to keep his alien girlfriend baby-mama Rielle Hunter living in style.

But the trial should be a clusterfuck of epic proportions, and pundits and late night comedians rejoice.

Stinquer Benedick weeps.

Capitol Hill. A congressional office. Marcia Kramer, a Comely Reporter for New York’s CBS 2, asks to speak to Randy Congresscritter Anthony Weiner. Brave Press Secretary David Arnold intercedes:

Kramer: “All I want is for him to say something to his constituents, the people who have to vote for him.”

Arnold: “I don’t think you can say he hasn’t said anything to his constituents. He spoke for nine hours yesterday.”

Kramer: “But not to anyone in New York. You know, this is the sort of in-the-bunker in the capitol, not to anyone in New York.”

What Comely Reporter Marcia Kramer doesn’t know is that Randy Congresscritter Anthony Weiner talked Wednesday night to Genial Mixologist Rachel Maddow, hosting from her spacious 30 Rock loft. But we’ll take Comely Reporter Marcia Kramer’s word that if CBS 2 doesn’t have it, it didn’t happen.

Black Conservative Ken Blackwell, of the American Family Association wants you to know that pressing Israel to make peace with the Palestinians would be one of the great crimes in history, like Stalin blockading West Berlin, Hitler Invading Poland, or Lincoln dealing a death knell to the Confederacy at the Battle of Vicksburg:

Cutting Israel in half will be fatal.

When the town of Vicksburg fell in 1863, President Lincoln knew it was the death knell of the Confederacy. “The father of waters flows unvexed to the sea,” Lincoln said, poetically describing the Union’s new control over the length of the Mississippi River.

Contiguous, or contiguity, the noun. That’s what the Confederates lost at Vicksburg. Their new nation was cut in two. It withered and died.

So this is the dance a black man has to dance in order to favor with the Teabaggers, eh, Ken?
