Quick Questions

Where you as panicked as I was when you saw the internet headline the other morning "Obama Tabs Kagan for Supreme Court"--before you realized it wasn't Congressman Steve Kagen?

That being said--I know the phone in the TV newsroom was ringing off the hook from people who really did feel that way.
