The Right's Field: "Yesterday the Senate nearly unanimously passed S.214, "Preserving United States Attorney Independence Act of 2007.' The vote was 94-2, with only Republicans Chuck Hagel and Kit Bond voting against it. The bill removes the authority of the Attorney General, granted by the Patriot Act, to appoint US attorneys without confirmation from the Senate."
Political Wire, quoting the Huffington Post, "'We have learned the video was the work of Philip de Vellis, who was the Internet communications director for Sherrod Brown's 2006 Senate campaign, and who now works at Blue State Digital, a company created by members of Howard Dean's Internet Team.'
"Blue State Digital is the Internet consultant for Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
"Ben Smith has a statement from the campaign: 'The Obama campaign and its employees had no knowledge and had nothing to do with the creation of the ad. We were notified this evening by a vendor of ours, Blue State Digital, that an employee of the company had been involved in the making of this ad. Blue State Digital has separated ties with this individual and we have been assured he did no work on our campaign's account.'
"Blue State Digital also has a statement: 'We wish Mr. de Vellis well in his future endeavors.'"
