Obama surge

Richard M. Nixon appeared on more Time magazine covers (48) than anyone, but Barack Obama -- with 24 covers after just his first year in office -- is on pace to triple Tricky Dick's total if he wins a second term. Only 16 people have appeared on 10 or more Time covers, and all are politicians, though only one, Saddam Hussein (12), was not American, Teqnolog reports. Ronald Reagan was second with 45, followed by Bill Clinton (33), George W. Bush (31) and Jimmy Carter (27). Hillary Clinton, with 16, has appeared on the most Time covers for a female and for a non-president.

Meter maid

Who needs driving laws? In the past few months, Maria Shriver, wife of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been seen around LA talking on her cellphone while driving, parking in a red zone, and parking at an expired meter while buying a muffin. But the long arm of the law finally caught up with her when she parked at an expired meter in Brentwood. "After grabbing the ticket from her windshield, Maria got in her SUV and took off," TMZ reported, "but not before breaking one more law -- she rolled through a stop sign!"

G. Stephanopoulos' likely replacements on "This Week"? Names talked about in DC include Gwen Ifill, Ted Koppel, Jake Tapper. Conventional wisdom is Ted's too old, Jake's too green so Ifill, who brings her own new audience, is the probable maybe . . .

CHARLIE Gibson's farewell party remarks never even mentioned D. Sawyer. Not once. Not even to wish her luck . . .

1. Didn't Arnold get caught doing something shortly after that too?

3. Yes, he parked his Porsche illegally next to a red line in Beverly Hills in November

6. And then there was some business a few years back

with his never having had a motorcyle license.

9. Hmm should someone that breaks the law be allowed to make the laws?

Actually, in his case he is suppose to enforce the laws as Governor. But he doesn't bother making sure he follows the same laws.

2. I do not want Koppel or Tapper to replace George.

And good riddance to George Stephidiot!

4. I agree with you about KOPPEL/TAPPER. They would swing (even more) to the Wingnut side.

But I think STEPH has cut down the middle, that he was genuinely idealistic in his Dem career, that he has not been like Tweety or G.E.RUSSERT in kissing Rethug ass. He doesn't look happy at GMA, might flame out over there and then how will he get back to what he really likes, the politics thing.

8. Gee... doesn't look happy? Why is that?

Saw the big drop in viewers when he started? What a shame.


Now I do have a question. Was he forced to take the spot or was he looking for something else to do and that came up?

[UTUSN]

10. Well, I think it's a "promotion," not forced, but why do you dislike him so much? n/t

5. Not "good riddance" to Gorgeous George

He's moving to Good Morning America!

7. Just moved to a fluffier show which good working people don't watch.
