  • Maybe Peter Orszag is actually publicly explaining White House economic strategy and no one wants to believe that they're just that awful?
  • Ginni Thomas: Calling Anita Hill and leaving her a hilarious voicemail "was probably a mistake on my part."
  • Tea Party freshmen explain that the the "bad parts of Washington" that they ran against don't include the lobbyists who are currently paying them huge sums of money.
  • Mark Halperin is paid by TIME to pen a series of banal cliches in support of a meaningless argument that betrays a simplistic understanding of national politics and recent political history.
  • Whoops! David Gergen mistakes Matt Taibbi for Matt Bai, wackiness ensues.
