Via The Carpetbagger Report, the President has picked a new White House counsel to replace Harriet Miers (we hardly knew ye). Fred Fielding will be responsible for shielding the President from the avalanche of subpoenaes and legal requests which will come at him from the Democrats in Congress.

Who's Fred Fielding? Oh, nobody. Just the guy who was deupty WH Counsel during Watergate, and chief WH Counsel during Iran-Contra.
