    And this is why I call Politico "Stuff White People Like About Politics".

    I'd love it if it became their tag.

    Arrogant tools in DC? Perish the thought.

    I'm passably arrogant, and not as much of a tool as I might want to be, and I'm deputy assistant mail clerk.

    They all do the same JFK "closed fist thumb point thing" when making a point. I wonder: media training? Or just vast egomania?

    Harris has quite the way of bragging about the hiring Ben Smith while simultaneously delivering him a backhanded insult in front of his coworkers and the viewers at home.

    Listen, I don't care if they're tyrants; anyone who can out-pipe Charlie Rose is worthy of respect in my book.

    It's not for naught they call it "The Charlie Rose Show." Dude even out-spoke Murdoch, who just sat there in stunned Aussie reserve while Charlie rabbitted on and on and barely gave him the opportunity to sneak in a word edgewise.

    @snugbug: Is Rupert under the desk because I didn't see him. Maybe that's why Charlie talked so much.

    Are you talking about a different post?

    @htotheomo: Was merely referring to Charlie Rose's record as egotistical interviewer in general. He interviewed Murdoch on some other occasions that have nothing to do with this interview, sorry, I shouldda made that clearer.

    @snugbug: I figured. I remember seeing a stat of his word count v his guests as opposed to other hosts. He's the most verbose relative to guests. Not that that would shock anyone.

    Don't fret; I often drop entire words. Sometimes, it's nouns; sometimes, it's a verb or preposition!

    They're wearing essentially the same outfit. Awkward.

    The Politico used to be a good read but hasn't been for over a year.

    @htotheomo: Aw, really? I still like it, especially their "Shenanigans" column. They just broke that epic "Don't call me Liz" story that made it on the Olbermann show and made me laugh so hard last month.

    @snugbug: Yeah, and I read all sorts of things I don't agree with. I guess their coverage of the election was a little...off.

    This interview cemented my opinion. It's not that I will never read them again; they're just not must-read material. I'm sure that keeps them up at night.

    However, no matter what you do, DO NOT read the comments.

    @Curatorial: As someone with three toothbrushes, I should note that they all clean differently. For maximum effect, you need to alternate.


    I don't mean to sound so pretentious there (I'm not an early twentysomething, by God). Truthfully, this three-toothbrush thing come up only recently and quite by accident, but the discovery remains.
