How big of an Obama lapdog is Andrea Mitchell? Even bigger than ardent Obama fan Chris Hughes.

So who has cuter dimples? Swoon Journalist Steve Kroft or Mario Lopez?

Pat Buchanan Schools Eleanor Clift: 'You Don't Read What the Founding
Newsweek's Eleanor Clift got a much-needed education about the Founding Fathers and gay rights this weekend.
