I thought that eventually I would be numbed to the sensory assault of the channel, but you don't get used to it -- it just drives you nuts. It's like your television is trying to attack you.

By defying a subpoena to testify on his role in politicizing the Justice Department, Rove is thumbing his nose at Congress, legal precedent, the public's right to know the truth, and the Constitution. This is no petty partisan squabble; this is a fight about the foundations of our democracy. READ MORE Surge Amnesia: The Media's Newest Affliction Buoyed by a reduction in violence in Iraq, John McCain is running a "the surge has worked" victory lap and war supporters like Condi "I'm Proud to Have Overthrown Saddam" Rice are beating their chests.

Dick Morris inevitably had something rotten to say about Clinton. Why all the hostility? What could she have done to him to create this negativity? Then it hit me like a frying pan in a slapstick movie.

A good friend of mine is now publicly representing the faction of "Clintonites" that are threatening to not vote in November or to vote for McCain rather than fall in line behind Obama.

Michelle Obama is no "baby mama". I still am dumbfounded by what an offensive, insensitive, racially charged reference Fox News made.

Objectification is not the same as admiration. It is just a sad attempt for anatomical standing ovations. You are an anchor woman for goodness sake.
