Sometimes I wonder about the editors at MSNBC. This is the image they decided to go with for the front-page bipartisan fundraising story:

Keith Olberman's wet blanket special comment certainly could have waited a few days. I do not like George Bush anymore than he does, but really, tonight of all nights? :mad:

I am greatly relieved that Caroline Kennedy will not be the appointed Senator from NY to replace Clinton. That would have been a serious joke.

I am too. And I'll be disappointed if it ends up going to Andrew Cuomo.

At least Andrew Cuomo has created his own political legacy but I'm tired of political appointments becoming hereditary positions. I don't like political elections being hereditary but that is voter stupidity getting what it asks for.

I was surprised that Bush didn't pardon Libby.

I was surprised at the lack of massive blanket pardons on his way out the door. Truly, truly surprised. Surprised enough to make me cynically wonder if there's some sort of classified pardon that would only be revealed if the pardonee was actually charged with a crime.

Apparently Kirsten Gillibrand is not the most popular Representative on the hill, and the other members of New York's congressional delegation have a nickname for her: Tracy Flick.

And in other news, Rod Blagojevich has apologized... for using profanity.

More on Blago....this is hysterical. I just heard him being interviewed about his impeachment trial, and for strength he said he "thinks about Dr. King and Ghandi and other great persecuted leaders".

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

He also considered Oprah as the new Senator. She certainly has the dough to afford it.

He does sound a bit desperate at this point, once that desperation turns to bitterness and hate he should write one hell of a tell all book.
