1. I saw it too. I had no idea. So I Googled...

and found these:



Paris Hilton and the Supreme Court
On the drive into work this morning I was listening to live coverage of the Judge John Roberts Supreme Court confirmation hearings and almost veered off the road from busting out laughing over a comment made by Illinois Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D).

Somehow, last year's scandal over Republican staffers allegedly downloading thousands of documents from Democratic computer files came up. Durbin actually made reference to the story I broke Tuesday about the Massachusetts teenager who pleaded guilty to breaking into Paris Hilton's cell phone account and posting its contents on the Web for the entire world to see (the original story about how this kid and his buddies carried out the attack is here).

Durbin said: "I sent a letter to the attorney general yesterday applauding the fact that the Justice Department had, in fact, successfully prosecuted, in Massachusetts, a person who had hacked in and stolen the telephone records of Paris Hilton. And I asked the attorney general to please ask our special counsel in this case to take a look at the precedent of the Paris Hilton case and see if he can perhaps protect our records as much as we want to protect that poor young lady's telephone records."

2. It means that Gallup is a Bush contributor

Gallup found Bush's approval rating was lowest -- at 40 percent -- between Aug. 22 and Aug. 25. Since then, it has climbed five points, while every other poll has declined. The poll has also found that Bush's handling of the hurricane polling has improved since the initial disaster, from 44 percent to 58 percent.

Either that, or they're doing it at Rove's request so President Potty Stop won't throw another tantrum in his office. Forty-four to 58 percent in three weeks? I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might want to buy!

"Senator Dick Durbin (D - IL) penned a letter to Bush Attorney General Alberto Gnozales Wednesday asking why the Justice Department was able to successfully prosecute a teenager for hacking into Paris Hilton's cell phone, but is yet to fully investigate two Republican staffers who hacked into the Senate Democratic Judiciary computer system, Raw Story has learned."
