Federal Judge Royce Lamberth (of the Rhode Island Lamberths? Anyone know?) ruled today that, sorry George, the White House visitor logs are in fact part of the public record. We appreciate Judge Lambeth clearing up the confusion in the White House over that one even though that was already the fucking law and everything. Some people just have to hear things over and over again before they believe them, and sometimes, if the person in question is a particular hard-on, it has to come from U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth.

In any event, we can't wait to see the long list of dignified and respected names on the list, all the way from Abramaoff to... you know, someone who's a dick with a name that starts with Z. We're sure the list won't be in any way humiliating to the White House, and also all the litigiousness around the inevitable release of these obviously public records is in no way a futile stalling tactic funded by taxpayers.
