Eli Sanders's blow-by-blow is here. Another Plan: A week after Bush and the House put together an economic stimulus plan, the Senate has put together a plan of its own: $500 to almost every American, plus an extension of unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless. Kenya: More bad news: Mugabe Were, a freshman parliamentarian, could have been one of the keys to unlocking Kenya’s crisis but on Tuesday he was shot dead in his driveway.

Just got off the phone from a really contentious phone call with TeddyKennedy. The guy's a jerk-off, always was, always will be. Grew up about a mile from the Compound, we've known each other for something bordering on forever, but the guy somehow manages to be the biggest jackass I know.

"I had just been asked a question -- I don't remember which one -- and Obama was sitting right next to me. Then the moderator went across the room, I think to Chris Dodd, so I thought I was home free for a while. I wasn't going to listen to the next question. I was about to say something to Obama when the moderator turned to me and said, 'So, Gov. Richardson, what do you think of that?' But I wasn't paying any attention! I was about to say, 'Could you repeat the question? I wasn't listening.' But I wasn't about to say I wasn't listening. I looked at Obama. I was just horrified. And Obama whispered, 'Katrina. Katrina.' The question was on Katrina! So I said, 'On Katrina, my policy . . .' Obama could have just thrown me under the bus. So I said, 'Obama, that was good of you to do that.'"
