Bulletin!

Meet the Press really was on and for those who missed it, here's a quick recap

DNC Daves guests this week were Senator Dick Durbin, Secy of Transportation Ray LaHood, and former communications director Anita Dunn

Durbin was up first. DNC Dave asked Durbin about the current scandals. Durbin refused to answer citing "Government Employee Executive Privilege" a newly signed executive order Obama issued today exempting any government employee past, present, or future from commenting on anything not favorable to the current administration.

DNC Dave then asked Durbin how was it he was first elected as a pro-life congressman from Central Illinois running against a pro-choice republican, but then changed his stance. Durbin replied there was no where to go in the Democratic Party as a pro-life Democrat, so in order to further his career he switched.

Next up was Ray LaHood, former Republican Congressman from Central Illinois. DNC Dave said since the new executive order was in place and he couldn't ask any substantive questions about all the money wasted on High Speed Rail so trains could go 89 mph instead of 78 mph between St. Louis and Chicago, he asked LaHood this. How is it you were mentored by Bob Michel, held his former Republican seat for several years, and then became a member of Obama's cabinet. Wasn't that uncomfortable being a Republican among all those Democrats? LaHood replied - This was a great job, and it furthered my career. I voted for Obama so I could keep my job. Now that I'm retiring, I'm going to leave Peoria and move to Washington so I can make a ton of dough lobbying.

Next up Anita Dunn. DNC Dave asked her whether she still believed Mao was still the greatest dictator. She replied Obama soon will be, especially if he can suppress the Tea Party for the 2014 elections and get the house back for Nancy Pelosi

The roundtable panel was composed of Andrea Mitchell, Rachael Maddow, Chris Mathews, Ed Schultz, and EJ Dionne. DNC Dave said he was proud to announce Meet the Press now could claim equality to Fox News in the "Fair and Balanced" department for roundtables.

Their discussion was the usual drivel, so not worth commenting Sorry you all missed it!
