I just got into DC, Marcy’s on her way. Scooter here we come! (Got a date with Politics TV….)

Probably EPU’d, but, as someone asked above, are you guys gonna be on tonight?

TEEN SHOPPING. They put a bunch of reporters on the “story” of following 53 teenagers around a local mall and noting where they shopped, what they bought and how much they spent.

Let’s see: $$$$ spent at mall vs. $$$$ spent on Iraq? Value received for same?

Danke schoen; I assumed as much, that this was merely parsing to put the best possible light on this, but it is nice to have validation from a German citizen.

Why do people give Valerie Plame standing ovations? This is something that I just don’t get.

Like awarding that 93 year old lady who got mugged in NYC with some sort of medal, like she did something important. Plame is a victim, yes, but why are people clapping like she’s a rock star?

Every Resistance needs symbols.

Valerie Plame’s resistance to King George’s tyranny defies his misrule.

I’ll clap a long time to honor that.
