[Dan Gross] (Let’s start a rumor: The NBC gig comes less than a week after MSNBC canned resident loudmouth Keith Olbermann. NBC is now owned by Comcast, whose executive VP is David Cohen, who used to be Rendell’s chief of staff. Coincidence? The Scoop doesn’t believe in them.)

The First Lady will make it up to him tonight; he’ll be her guest at the State of the Union. [Inquirer]
