Two weeks in a row without Buffalo Butt? Maybe he is being trained by the NBC Makeover People how to not be so obviously partisan because it is so blatant it is astounding. Most obvious is the hunched over, lean way into the Pubbie gesture that he does not seem to be able to stop himself from doing. Second is the Monologue to the Pubbie where he pays no attention to the Pubbie response,but goes right on to another Monologue of Partisan, insinuating,mean and abrasive sounding Questions. They may be training him to be less of a suck up to any Democrat,with less soft ball questions given to them,and maybe some decent follow up questions. Actually, it is better for Republicans that they are able to see the real Partisan Hack that he is,and the rest of the Country cannot help but notice. I would hope that Buffalo Butt us practicing for his Grand Jury appearance...One can hope..

You may be on to something here, samantha. There is also unhappiness at the big-house, GE. GE already lost a nuclear deal on another part of the world. Sometimes, pocketbook politics works. If that 's the case here, it would be nice.

That was my first thought and I'm guessing his practicing is accompanied by major anxiety if not outright panic. Smell the fear.

maybe it's just a makeover in the Greta van Sustern -- what did you do when you were off air --- way. Someone who watches his show will have to report whether he still has the same bags and wrinkles when he returns.
