Congratulations, White House Communications Team!

From Google News at 9:52 p.m.

"Interest Groups Begin Roberts Battle" (all 3,496 related »)
"Feds: Media Shield Bad Public Policy" (all 148 related »)
"President Calls on Congress to Renew Patriot Act Provisions" (all 119 related »)

Translation: The Supreme Court nomination has bumped the leaked CIA agent story off the front page -- almost any page -- and may also allow the president and Congress to push through renewal of the Patriot Act with few if any changes (though one terrible change may be an end to the requirement that the government report to Congress when it employs certain Patriot Act provisions. Oh, and another terrible change? Sen. Pat Roberts' version of renewal would make all parts of the Patriot Act permanent.).
