Facty, sassy Shira Toeplitz
Roll Call's Shira Topelitz, who looks like Natalie Portman from The Professional, i.e. 12, surprised anchor/mispronouncer David Shuster by providing not only answers, "it's "tup-litz, actually," but also segues, "but it's good to be here David, thanks for having me." The content of this segment (the Minnesota recount) gives you time to check the Drudge refresh in your other tabbed window, but do stick around for Shira's sexy, "thanks for having me." Goodness! If Nancy Pfotenhauer had ended a few segments like this, maybe John McCain would be president now.

That's our VP!
Dick Cheney did an interview on ABC and gave us some tidbits from his upcoming memoir, "My Life in Authorizing Brutal Torture: The Dick Cheney Story"
I'm gearing up for the outpouring of confessions from this administration in its waning hours. I have a hunch that we've all been blaming the lack of progress on an Arrested Development movie on the wrong people.
Joe the Plumber continues his meteoric rise
Since his first star turn another video has been released from the darling of the New York and Hollywood culturati:
Looks like the Mary is hitching her wagon to the right star.
"Shoe Toss" new Iraqi national passtime
CNN reports: Shoes fly in Baghdad. At least it's not bullets flying in Baghdad, am I right?!? Too soon? The recent shoe throwing incident has already exploded (too soon?) into an international phenomenon, inspiring the oppressed to say "hey I can take both my shoes off too, and become a doctor to boot." Rick Sanchez reports:
The whole crisis/incident/cultural instance already has a name and Rick Sanchez can say it!! With an Italian accent!!!
Wishing the Iraqi shoe journalist had 18 feet, all of them shoed in Doc Martins
Disgusted Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi threw his shoes at President Bush. The act caused almost no outrage in the US, and the Arab world thinks al-Zeidi is a hero. Not even the Secret Service could be bothered to get off their asses until after al-Zeidi was overpowered by other journalists. It seems that we all wanted to throw something at President Bush. The video is so cathartic that it cries out to be looped, over and over again.
