Weekly Roundup--And it's been a long, lovely week

Drudge (I know, I know) is reporting that the Obama camp leaked details of the presidential visit yesterday, pissing off the prez. Like, who cares?

Great article in the NYT on Sunday about how Obama has energized a new generation of voters. Generation O. Oh, yes.

"Only a Fugees-loving, pick-up-basketball-playing, biracial president-elect would send supporters an e-mail message on election night that said: “I’m about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.”

He signed it simply “Barack.” After all, they were close. He and his biggest fans, the generation of young adults who voted for him in record numbers, together had slogged through 21 months of campaigning. And in his moment of victory, Barack Obama shared the glow of success.“All of this happened because of you,” the e-mail message said. “We just made history.”

Unbelievably, Lieberman actually wants to keep his committee post after being the most traiterous Dem in history. But look who's acting all presidential and shit.

In case you're having poll watching withdrawl, here's some good stuff:

Nearly seven in 10 adults, or 68%, said they have a favorable opinion of President-elect Barack Obama. Almost that many — 65% — said they think the country will be better off four years from now.

"The reception he's getting is unlike anything we've seen in decades," says Andrew Kohut, director of the non-partisan Pew Research Center. "It's a very high set of expectations to live up to. On the upside, it means people are going to be pulling for him."

As always, Frank Rich gets it right. He takes the media out to the wood shed.

The Republicans are actually considering making Gingrich the head of the party. Yeah, that'll turn things around.

This is hilarious:

Election officials have publicly humiliated actor Tim Robbins after it was discovered that his little Election Day tantrum was his own stupid fault. It would seem that Captain America attempted to vote in the wrong polling place, which he might have realized earlier had he actually bothered to vote in any election in the last four years. According to the NY Daily News

Records showed Robbins moved in 2004 and filed a new registration. His proper polling site was in the Andrew Heskell Library on W. 20th St., where Robbins’ name was in the poll book.

“It would appear,” Robbins was informed in a letter from [the] Manhattan election commissioner, “that your voting experience was less than positive because you simply went to the wrong poll site.” The letter noted that Robbins might not have made his mistake had he voted “in any recent election.
