Up until this point, we had perhaps shaky evidence that Nina Totenberg, legal affairs correspondent for NPR, is a diva.

There was the (now closed) ATL reader poll, in which 30 percent of you declared La Totenberg to be a true diva. There were various stories of diva-like behavior. There was her recent, diva-licious appearance on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, in which she gave Scooter Libby prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald a piece of her mind. (Click here, select "Not My Job: Patrick Fitzgerald," and skip ahead to the 7:30 mark.)

But now it's official: Nina Totenberg really IS a diva, narrowly defined as "[a] female opera star of great rank or pretension." Click here, and listen to her operatically trill the four finalists for a new "All Things Considered" jingle.

Although some of the notes in Nina's upper register sound a little thin, on the whole she's in fine voice. We're very impressed!

From one tipster: "Can I suggest a barbershop quartet, consisting of Nina Totenberg, Joan Biskupic, Jan Crawford Greenburg, and Linda Greenhouse?" Or maybe a sing-off between Nina Totenberg and Judge Marjorie Rendell (3d Cir.), another diva in the figurative and literal senses of the word?

Now if only we can get Nina Totenberg to sing Everyone's A Winner at Nixon Peabody...
