BRAZILE: Big spender, deficit spender. And that's what he'll be remembered
as.
BLITZER: That's not very nice. He's going to be 91 years old. He's got his
birthday coming up. Say something nice about him. We want to hear something
nice about Ronald Reagan.
BRAZILE: I'll pass.
-Donna Brazille on CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer when asked to say
something on the occasion of Ronald Reagan's 91st birthday:
Some days.......work is simply for the birds
Hep Me Enron, Hep, Hep Me Enron: Stiffed of their opportunity for the
Monday
morning glory of sand bagging Enron CEO Ken Lay at a hearing when he took a
pass,
Congressional democrats went a bit hysterical
and took to the
microphones. Senator Hollings was the most exercised, however, with his bang
on imitation of the old Loony Tunes cartoon rooster, Foghorn Leghorn.
New/Old Kids on the Block: A hearty Vast Right Wing welcome to the
AmericanProwler.com which is, in reality, that street fighting gang from the
late, great American Spectator.
These are not your father's Republicans.
Watch for some hard-nosed and sometimes hilarious reportage from this
rejuvenated site. It's positively Darwinian to have them pop back on the
web
and we couldn't be more delighted for the company. Here's what they are up

A Betta Greta? More hard roll than news-muffin Fox News' new
Newsbabe Greta
von Susteren last night knowing that many tuned in for a look at her much
touted new face. Her clever bookers had former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright as her first guest as an almost total argument for why some public
women really do to visit a plastic surgeon. Greta's new show was lively
enough but an earlier appearance on O'Reilly showed she still has the
"Clinton didn't lie" mind set. It's too early for reviews but
while we're in
a Clinton bashing mood,
check out Dick Morris' WSJ piece here.
Lay Lying Down? As if the Enron saga wasn't thrilling enough what
with
illustrated features on how to establish an off-shore raptor and three part
series on the use and abuse of the number 9, now we have
Mr. Big Gone Missing.
We think Ken Lay has done what all of us here do when the world is
too much with us - hop into bed and pull the covers over our head.
Dumbing Down Divahood: Check out Sam Dealey 's piece on the Oh So
Grand
Sheila Jackson Lee in the new Weekly Standard. All we have to say
is.........
class tells.
