Well he is kind of pretty.

And such a nice $2 million house on Dexter Street in Foxhall he shares with his Fannie Mae lawyer wife.  Just around the corner from MSNBC colleague Andrea Micthell's house in Kent she shares with her Federal Reserve chairman husband.

Headline: 'Is David Gregory a Vegetable?'

The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), an organization created in 1999 to prompt debate on social and economic issues, says NBC "Meet the Press" Host David Gregory fell down on the job this week. In fact, they think he's a vegetable, or just acted like one on Sunday's show by not asking the right questions. Specifically they were outraged that Gregory didn't press Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) about the recession... read more>>

Politico Loses Negrin to ABC News

Politico's Matt Negrin is jumping from Rosslyn to Desales Street and the ABC News Washington bureau to be a digital political reporter. He joins the network next week.

Unraveling Amie's Job Switch

While most were prepping the bird on Thanksgiving morning, we discovered a true holiday miracle. A new piece from Politico's Amie Parnes! Okay, so.. It's KIND of a piece. It's really more of a transcription of the President's Thanksgiving Radio Address. The excitement of the new piece got us to thinking, though... When was the last time we heard from her? A quick check on Politico's website shows that the last piece... read more>>

Spotted: The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol at DCA

We spotted Bill Kristol, founder and Editor of The Weekly Standard, entering Reagan National Airport around 10:20 a.m Monday. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a lighter blue button-up shirt. He was alone and wheeling one medium-sized piece of luggage. The blank expression on his face as well as his casual stroll indicated he was neither in a rush nor late for his flight. We did our best to snap a... read more>>

Howard Kurtz as Sherlock Holmes

CNN's "Reliable Sources" Host Howard Kurtz really sharpened his investigative skills in his Media Monitor segment this week as he delved deep into the mystery behind an "exclusive" interview that aired on WNYW, a New York Fox station. Anchor Greg Kelly didn't disclose that his guest, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, was his father until the nine-minute segment was nearly over. Kurtz found this and the cutesy way the news was revealed... read more>>

Club member Sam Husseini, who was suspended last week after club officials found his behavior at a recent presser distasteful, learned over the holiday weekend that the Ethics Committee has ruled that he's back in.
