This morning, as word of a "nuclear option"-averting agreement was filtering out of Capitol Hill, I went on Fox Business Network's Market Now to talk about why non-partisans find this stuff so tedious:

    Did you get to meet Tim McCarver, Matt? I know he's a personal favorite.

    1. Matt Welch   13 years ago

      Sadly, we missed each other. I would have asked him about hitting all those triples.

  2. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

    I hate to complain, but the first two and a half minutes weren't exactly pertinent. Welch regrew his Chuck Heston beard waiting for the hyped segment to start.

    1. GILMORE   13 years ago

      Also noted. Perhaps terms of use by Fox?

  3. Palin's Buttplug   13 years ago

    The Senate GOP caved pretty easily once their only tool was under threat.

    1. GILMORE   13 years ago

      tedious indeed

      1. Tony   13 years ago

        Don't worry I have a thing for GOP cock too.

  4. GILMORE   13 years ago

    Matt= new tie (at the very least unseen). Also, beard.

    Is it Brooklyn? I have suspicions.

    side issue = KG and Paul Pierce now Nets. Jayson Kidd to coach? Discuss.

    1. Matt Welch   13 years ago

      I fear you are paying too close attention...

      I'm never a fan of getting older, but I'm no basketball expert....

  5. Paul.   13 years ago

    Matt, did they sent a town car or a Limo? I hear these fly-by-night operations send a towncar unless you demand the limo.

    1. Matt Welch   13 years ago

      I take the subway, unless it's CNBC (out in New Jersey some goddamned place).

  6. sam the man   13 years ago

    Was the woman host retarded or something?
