Many of you have probably already seen this decidely creepy video of President Cheney lurking in the bushes during the mini-President’s last press conference. You know, the one where he threatened to veto an emergency spending bill and then tried to blame the Democrats.

For the past couple years, I have opened my eyes every morning to one of the most beautiful faces in the world. No, alas, not my own, but that of CNN’s American Morning host, Soledad O’Brien.

The Washington Post reports this morning that the O’Brien/O’Brien team (Miles, being the other one) are no more. They will be replaced by CNN’s John Roberts and the very attractive and talented Kiran Chetry, formerly of Fox News fame.
