1) Rudy Giuliani is apparently no longer “very, very comfortable” with the idea of his wife attending Cabinet meetings. In a statement, Rudy clarified:

"Obviously, she will not be a Cabinet member or attend most Cabinet meetings - if any. But she will pursue a campaign to educate Americans on preventing illness and promoting overall health."

Glad that's all cleared up.

2) My apparent university-affiliated emailer who has no sympathy for Tony Snow and wishes cancer on all Republicans has disavowed the colorful message that came from his email account. In a follow-up email he, he wrote:

Hello,

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you’re referring to. I use three different classrooms with communal computers and am frequently using several different email accounts from them. However, I have not visited your site and had a hard time backtracking to find it. It seems I must have left Outlook explorer still available in one of the classrooms and any emails sent from it during those hours may have gone through my account.

However, for my own records, I would like to know exactly what was sent—since it seems it is now attributed to me.

Sorry again for the confusion and inconvenience,

Such carelessness! I responded,

Below and attached is what was sent. You'll want to be careful about that, I guess, if people are sending that kind of stuff in your name.

In what is presumably the last email this individual and I will ever exchange (oh, the times we had!), he wrote:

Thanks for sending it. I don't think I'll be logging into my emails in classrooms anymore.

Glad that's all cleared up!
