What About Bob?

Media parlor game: Who should get Bob Schieffer's "Face The Nation" gig when he leaves?

Gag me. New York Observer floats MSNBC blowhard Chris Matthews. Anderson Cooper? He's still obsessing over dirty nail salons.

Perhaps CBS News leaked the speculation to the NYO to signal to 71-year-old Bob (who now wants to stay on) that it's time for him to saddle up and ride into the sunset...

I like the pairing of Newt Gingrich and Al Gore reminiscent of the SNL send-up of "60 Minutes" James Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander's "Point Counterpoint." Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtin played the James and Shana roles with Ackroyd/James famouse riposte: "Jane, you ignorant slut!"
