Too Busy With the Real World

04 Aug 2007 09:04 am

Looks like this morning's congressional leadership forum has been canceled since too many of the congressional leaders need to stay in DC for votes and such thanks to some procedural wrangling. That's too bad, I was really sort of more interested in their thoughts than in hearing from the presidential candidates, since one has many, many, many opportunities to read presidential candidates' speeches and more than a few chances to see them live. Congressional leaders, by contrast, tend to be shadowy figures granted the occasional sound bite here or there but rarely able to lay out an account of what they think they're doing.

Your TPM interview is very funny.

And I think your schtick of expressing open envy of Ezra Klein usurping your A-Lister role is an excellent PR strategy for dealing with Ezra Klein actually usurping your A-Lister role.

For God's sakes, Matt. Post all your video appearances. It's solid gold, baby.

The sound of wallets opening must not have been loud enough at YKos to get Congress' attention. It gets 'em running like a can opener does to my cat.

Our Congressional leadership is afraid to show their face at YKos after caving to Bush on FISA.

I feel safer though. Don't you?

My advice: get out of the convention center, head north, and hit Lollapalooza.
