Typical was this one, from "iveseenitall":The ladies in my house instantly fell for this kid.  "Oh" and "Oooh" and "Ah". The giggles, the pointing at the t.v. Love all around that night. The MSM lives in a different house.  Check out this candid…

In today's "Better Late Than Never" moment, MSNBC has just announced that Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann will no longer act as anchors of the network's election coverage.Let me be the first to say that it's about time.As reported by Brian Stelter at the New York Times moments ago (emphasis added, h/t's to all that forwarded this to us):
