I am not a big TV watcher, so I never see the various talking heads;
Tuesday I watched the returns on CNN.  I like Jeff Greenfield (from
appearances on Imus), but some of the others--!

Larry King appeared to be playing (I hope for his sake) the dummy who asks
the obvious questions that Joe Viewer might not be clear about.  Wolf did
okay, I guess, for live TV.  The black guy I have never seen before, and he
said his name several times but I forget it: I really liked him, he was
good, although not enough to make me remember his name.  I dislike it when
the one black guy has to field all the "minority" questions,
though ("here, you're black: how do you think Hispanics are
voting?").

Tucker and Begala I knew what to expect; Carville was good: calm and
reasoned; but Novak!  Is he always such a slouching, drawling idiot?
"Well, let me just interject in this discussion on Ohio, that an
obscure Republican has just been elected Animal Control Officer in Podunk,
and in a close race like that it shows a lot of doggedness..." (no, he
didn't say that.  Not that clever).

Paula Zahn has been cadging "perky pills" from what's-her-name
from the "Today" show.  I wonder how she did by the wee hours (I
bailed at 1:15)?
