A Second McCain Aide Resigns
Doug Davenport, the regional campaign manager for the mid-Atlantic states, founded the DCI Group's lobbying practice and oversaw the contract with Myanmar in 2002. "Doug has tendered his resignation and we have accepted it," Jill Hazelbaker, McCain's communications director, wrote in a e-mail. He joins former DCI Group CEO Doug Goodyear, who resigned yesterday from the post of convention CEO after Newsweek reported that DCI was paid more than $300,000 to represent Myanmar's ruling junta.

At least they didn’t try to burn him at the stake
Long-time readers know that I take a certain amount of pleasure in mocking Florida, where I was born and raised. There’s just something … unique about it. Take, for example, a Tampa-area school firing a substitute teacher for doing a magic trick for his students. The telephone call that spelled the end of Jim Piculas’ career as a substitute teacher in Pasco County came on a January day about a week after he performed the disappearing-toothpick trick for a group of rapt middle school students. Pat Sinclair, who oversees substitute teachers in the Pasco County School District, was on the phone.

The Transition
MoDo seems regretful that she will have less reason (at least outside the context of blind dates) to snigger about Bill Clinton's sex life. But she holds out faint hope for a Vice Presidential nod: Aside from the delight Bill would get from living at the Naval Observatory and having a huge telescope to window-peep with, there wouldn’t be much joy in Hillaryland. Hahahahahahahaha! That's the kind of legendary wit that can get you a Pulitzer prize, or the Tuesday night slot at Yakov Smirnoff's comedy club in Branson if Carrot Top cancels at the last minute. But won't Obama think of poor Dowd?
