Tournament Proves Thrills for CBS Studio Voices

The Christmas Terror Attempt: Not 2001 All Over Again
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyWhen 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab allegedly tried to blow up Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day, the reputed Islamic terrorist may well have chosen the date because of its Christian religious significance. Whatever the rationale for the timing, the near-tragedy in the skies over Michigan coincided with the sleepiest week of the 2009 news cycle. The predictable result was that camera-craving politicians and desperate-for-headlines TV anchors conspired to end the Anxious Aughts with a final burst of hysteria. ...

Peter King on the 12-Year Journey of Monday Morning Quarterback
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsWhen Peter King agreed to write a weekly Monday Morning Quarterback column for the 1997 NFL season, he figured it'd be a few hundred words, a week's worth of stuff that didn't fit into the pages of Sports Illustrated.

Now, with Monday Morning Quarterback available in book form, King talked to FanHouse about how the column got to this point.He also addressed accusations that he's too close ...

Redskins' Chris Cooley Rips NFL Fines, Donovan McNabb, Fans With Cameras
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsWith Peter King on vacation, this week's Monday Morning Quarterback column at SI.com was written by Redskins tight end Chris Cooley, who penned an entertaining read that doesn't get into coffee or girls' softball but does get inside the mind of one of the most engaging players in the NFL.The whole thing is worth your time, but some highlights include Cooley talking about the NFL's often bizarre practice of fining players for uniform violations, Cooley's belief that Donovan McNabb's blog is badly written, and Cooley ripping people who post embarrassing photos of celebrities on the ...

By Emily Miller - Politics DailyRep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is our only public official with enough chutzpah to denounce the despicable official and media homage to Michael Jackson, an accused child molester and admitted fan of sharing his bed with young boys. Rep. King boldly said on camera: "This lowlife Michael Jackson -- his name, his face, his picture -- is all over the newspapers, television, radio. It's all we hear about is Michael Jackson. Let's knock out the psychobabble. This guy was a pervert. He was a child molester. He was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does that ...
