N.Y. Gov. David Paterson: Shadowboxing Rumors About . . . Who Knows?
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyLike troubled politicians before him, New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson appeared on Larry King's CNN show Thursday night to denounce "salacious and outrageous charges" and to liken his ordeal to a "Kafka-esque situation." Paterson even had to sit there placidly when King (who has been married eight times himself) asked, "Do you have an open marriage?" But what makes Paterson's plight a modern media parable is that he is going up against The New York Times over a story that has never been printed. Welcome to the wacky world of America's most beleaguered sitting governor not named Mark ...

By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyWant to know what First Lady Michelle Obama makes of Sarah Palin? Mrs. Obama seems happy to take the question, as she did Tuesday night from CNN's Larry King. And when she was asked about the former Alaska governor on Jan. 13, when seven print reporters -- I was one of them -- wanted to know what she made of the former GOP vice presidential candidate, Mrs. Obama seemed to have anticipated that Palin would come up. Her pat answer: She doesn't know her personally, so she has no opinion. It's a dodge -- people of course have opinions about public figures they have not gone to lunch with -- ...

They were among more than 50 people who took part in the Oct. 8 ceremony in Sedona, Ariz., where many people became ill for unknown ...

Lou Dobbs Bids CNN Adios
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Nov. 12) -- Lou Dobbs, the last of CNN's original anchors, abruptly announced in the middle of his show Wednesday that he's quitting the network. "Over the past six months, it's become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us. And some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving," Dobbs said in a statement that gave no indication of where he'll go next but had the ring of a political campaign to it. Embedded video from CNN Video ...

Colin Powell: Skip Gates Could Have Avoided Arrest
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyGen. Colin Powell says that Harvard Professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates could have avoided arrest and the ensuing controversy by just talking calmly to Cambridge, Mass., Police Sgt.

"I'm saying Skip, perhaps in this instance, might have waited a while, come outside, talked to the officer and that might have been the end of it," Powell says in an interview with Larry King, airing Tuesday night on CNN.
