I am sitting in one of Brooklyn's ubiquitous free internet cafes, where the clientele consists of out of work liberal arts graduates and nursing mothers groups, and I am thinking about last week's news. Just off the top of my head I remember the following:
1. The NIE report saying Iran halted their Nuclear program in 2003
2. The CIA destroyed at least 2 interrogation videos, prompting a likely Congressional inquiry.
3. The Huckabee rise coupled with several new attacks on him now that he is in the spotlight.
4. More of the drip drip drip of Rudy's mistress problem, culminating in his awful performance on Meet the Press yesterday. I have never seen such nervous laughter as Rudy tried to put his finger in the dike.
5. OPRAH! OPRAH! OPRAH! It totally dominated the weekend news cycle (good news for Rudy)
6. Romney's religious freedom/intolerance speech on Thursday in Texas.
7. Hugo Chavez suffers a defeat in his quest for endless presidency.
8. Vladimir Putin wins a suspicious victory in his quest for endless presidency.
9. Tim Tebow wins the Heisman (my personal favorite!)
It really feels like last week was one of those weeks where things shift in political campaigns. So much happened that it is presently impossible to add up all of the possible ramifications. Got to figure though that it was a bad week for the two New Yorkers running for the top job.
