* Some unknown writer had loads of fun with MSNBC anchor David Shuster. On Countdown, they got Shuster to say “It’s going to be teabagging day for the right wing and they are going nuts for it.” Maybe Shuster was in on the joke? And maybe the FCC doesn’t see anything wrong with a lovely cup of tea? It doesn’t matter. But it’s the writer that deserves a lot of credit here. [The Legal Satyricon]
