Time Passes

Obama got to visit his new House today!!! And may I say, sir, how well you look in it?

As will.i.am says, "It's a New Day":

In other news, "Turd of the Nation" Bob Novak got a few kicks in in his interview with barbanra Matusco of The Washingtonian. Here's Bob, nostalgically remembering the days of true "partisanship:" "I don’t agree that partisanship is more bitter now. In the 19th century, the overriding issue was slavery, and there was no more partisan issue than slavery. Preston Brooks, a proslavery Democratic congressman from South Carolina, walked onto the Senate floor and beat Charles Sumner, the antislavery leader of the radical Republicans, almost to death with the metal end of his cane. Now, that was partisan." But wait, there's...more.

Bob also had this to say about the Valerie Plame affair: "If you read my book, you find a certain ambivalence there. Journalistically, I thought it was an important story because it explained why the CIA would send Joe Wilson—a former Clinton White House aide with no track record in intelligence and no experience in Niger—on a fact-finding mission to Africa. From a personal point of view, I said in the book I probably should have ignored what I’d been told about Mrs. Wilson. Now I’m much less ambivalent. I’d go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin me. My response now is this: The hell with you. They didn’t ruin me. I have my faith, my family, and a good life. A lot of people love me—or like me. So they failed. I would do the same thing over again because I don’t think I hurt Valerie Plame whatsoever."

Yah, you only hurt the concept of honor.

Moving on.

In the "adorable" category, HuffPo also has a slideshow of "Obama Smoochies for the Kids" which is too cute.
