Take Away the Podium.

Have the man plead his case standing on his own two feet, not lecture-leaning for 3 hours.

Will the country as a whole offer redemption in this midwinter passion play?

Comes the crowd cry:

"We want Snooki...
We want Snooki...
We want Snooki..."

*Well, in their defense, it has been a long cold lonely winter, and Mrs. Snooki does have an adorable new son. But mostly nobody likes to be lectured to for what seems like 3 hours, when you're supposed to be putting on the humble apologetic...

ok, nobody normal.
I think the political press peeps were looking for some excitement now that *Gov't Shutdown 2014* has been indefinitely postponed due to previous poor reviews.

Gotta put your partisan horserace coverage somewhere, even if we're not really covering a presidential campaign just yet.

No real substantial news happening elsewhere or anything; political gamesmanship is a 24/7 priority beat.
