" The Clinton administration was the best years for the adult industry and I wish that Clinton would run again. I would love to have him back in office."

Did Harry Reid really try to get Martin Sheen to run for office? Lawrence O'Donnell has the goods.

The L.A. Times says major Democratic candidates may wind up with no Florida delegates because of the state flouting party rules by moving up its primary. Somehow I think it will all be worked out.

Here's a Rudy problem I hadn't thought of, via Bernie Kerik, from Tom Edsall in the New Republic:

"According to Kerik's former girlfriend, the book publisher Judith Regan, this friendship could come back to haunt Giuliani's campaign. She told one of my tnr colleagues that Kerik and Giuliani would frequently discuss 'sketchy' activities in her presence 'as if I weren't there.' Regan told my colleague that she would reveal the contents of the conversations in the event that Giuliani's presidential campaign took off. (Of course, Regan has her own scandal-ridden past. But she also has enough p.r. acumen and notoriety to win an audience for her accusations.)"

Well, she knows how to get a tell-all book published.

The White House has hit back hard at Jimmy Carter for calling the Bush administration "the worst in history":

"In a biting rebuke, the White House on Sunday dismissed former President Jimmy Carter as 'increasingly irrelevant' after his harsh criticism of President Bush."

And if he liked Bush's performance, he would be relevant?

The right is really upset over the Bush-backed Senate compromise on immigration, and Power Line's John Hinderaker wonders whether Nancy Pelosi can get a third of the House GOP to vote for it, as she is insisting:

"There are currently 201 Republicans in the House, so if Pelosi sticks to this position, more than one-third of them would have to commit to supporting the bill for it even to be introduced. Others can judge this better than I can, but it's hard to believe that 70 House Republicans can be persuaded to back the compromise bill.

"Pelosi's reaction is interesting: obviously, she is looking for political cover. She won't make Democrats vote on the bill unless she knows in advance that it can be passed on a bipartisan basis. What that means is that Pelosi knows the measure will be unpopular with most Americans. Which raises, once again, the question: why should Republicans give Democrats the political cover they need?"
