WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband sued Vice President Dick Cheney, top White House aide Karl Rove and others on Thursday for their role in the disclosure of her classified CIA status.

The lawsuit alleged "a conspiracy among current and former high-level officials in the White House" to "discredit, punish and seek revenge" against Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for publicly disputing statements made by Bush justifying the war in Iraq.

"Trifecta of Turmoil"

GQ: Reed, Abramoff Discussed "Mortgaging Old Black People"

Ralph Reed's primary is only a week away and things are heating up.

In advance of its August publication date, GQ has released a big piece on Ralph Reed today, with one gem in particular: a plan hatched by Reed and Jack Abramoff which sounds suspiciously like "mortgaging old black people," as a former Reed associate told the magazine.

In July of 2003, Abramoff and Reed considered launching something called the Black Churches Insurance Program.

We know how this scheme would have gone, because Abramoff pitched something similar to a cash-strapped Texas tribe, the Tigua. Basically, since the tribe couldn't pay Abramoff, he offered to arrange "a life-insurance policy for every Tigua 75 or older." When those elders died, the death benefits would have gone to Abramoff through one of his non-profits. The Tigua didn't take Abramoff up on the offer, but it was too good of an idea to let go.

So Abramoff apparently thought black churches were a good target. This would have been the same thing, according to GQ's Sean Flynn, except that it was African-Americans. Or as "a former associate of Reed's" told GQ, "Yeah... it sounds like Jack approached Reed about mortgaging old black people.”

According to Abramoff's email exchange (under the subject line "Black Churches insurance program") with Reed in July of 2003 pitching the idea, it would have been huge:

Per our previous discussion, Abramoff wrote. Let me know how we can move forward to chat with folks who can set this up with African American elders. It can be huge. Thanks.
A file called “Charity Elder Program2.doc” was attached.

Three days later, Reed replied: Yes, it looks interesting. I assume you’ll set up a meeting in DC as a next step, or whatever we should do next, let me know.

Reed would have been the point man with the church leaders, one assumes, ushering them through the sticky process of getting all of their elders to sign up for life insurance policies payable to Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed.

It seems like Fox News or another group has been strongly emphasizing that both the Dailykos and Air America are on shaky legs right now. It's clearly not true... people aren't rising up against Marcos Moulitsas for a scandal and leaving the blog? I could barely figure out what the scandal was. Doesn't it seem like the same set of people are pressing the notion taht Air America is caving, such as O'Reilly?

Pink Floyd is vastly overrated.

U.S. Treasury officials are likely to put their own stamp on a proposed comprehensive overhaul of the tax system suggested by a blue-ribbon panel in November, an official said on Thursday.

"We have been considering our own possible options," said Treasury Department tax official Eric Solomon, who has been nominated to fill the long-vacant position of assistant secretary for tax policy.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, pressed Solomon to tell the panel when Treasury would forward its recommendation to President George W. Bush. The Treasury is working from the recommendations of a bipartisan panel that proposed a series of steps aimed at making the U.S. tax system simpler and fairer, including eliminating many deductions and reducing tax rates.

The panel recommended eliminating deductions for many taxpayer costs, including mortgage interest and state and local taxes. The panel also proposed requiring workers to pay taxes on health care benefits provided by their employers.

Where were those cost stats come from? They were astounding and I want to circulate them, but where can I get them? Link please?

"The panel recommended eliminating deductions for many taxpayer costs, including mortgage interest and state and local taxes. The panel also proposed requiring workers to pay taxes on health care benefits provided by their employers."

Here's a helluva good Homeland Security-related piece from this morning's Post-Gazette:

Two out of work at Federal Building after 20 years

Judy Miller, who greets each customer in line with friendly conversation, just wants to get back to her spot behind the cash register.

Mary Broughton, who cooks for hundreds of people each day like she would for her own family, misses her work, too.

But for now, the women are barred from their positions in the cafeterias of the federal buildings Downtown because they failed to pass required background checks with the Department of Homeland Security.

Even after seeking help from their union and a local congressman, they still don't know what it is that's keeping them away, and they're becoming increasingly frustrated.

"This not knowing when we can go back to work is ridiculous because they screwed up in Washington," Ms. Miller said...

Comedian Red Buttons dead at 87

Red Buttons, the carrot-topped burlesque comedian who became a top star in early television and then in a dramatic role won the 1957 Oscar as supporting actor in "Sayonara," died Thursday. He was 87.

Buttons died of vascular disease at his home in the Century City area of Los Angeles, publicist Warren Cowan said. He had been ill for some time, and was with family members when he died, Cowan said.

With his eager manner and rapid-fire wit, Buttons excelled in every phase of show business, from the Borscht Belt of the 1930s to celebrity roasts in the 1990s. He was well known at the latter for his "never got a dinner" routine.

His greatest achievement came with his "Sayonara" role as Sgt. Joe Kelly, the soldier in the post-World War II occupation forces in Japan whose romance with a Japanese woman (Myoshi Umeki, who also won an Academy Award) ends in tragedy.
