I just got done watching Matt Lauer interview Larry Craig. I don't think Larry really won too many points with the interview, but he didn't really hurt his case either.

Matt tried to put his "I'm a legitimate newsman" face on, but it just didn't take. You could tell he was trying to catch Larry Craig off guard with some of his questions. Matt's best line was when he told Larry that Larry's dad probably didn't take gay bathroom sex into consideration when he told his son to work hard when he grew up. I also thought Matt might get him when he said "what if you're bisexual instead of gay?" Larry was too quick on his feet for that one.

Overall, I thought Matt wasn't exactly Mike Wallace, or even Andy Rooney for that matter. Call me for some tips next time, Matt. In fact, here's a freebie question you could've asked: "Senator, is it possible that at some point in your life you accidentally did a bunch of drugs, had gay sex, and forgot about it?" I bet that one would've got him.

Don't mess with a cop who looks like he needs vacation.

Almost every time a cop shoots his gun or tases someone, he goes on "paid leave," a.k.a. vacation.

Obviously cops don't typically shoot or tase people just to get time off, but it makes you think.
