After watching the circus that was the Democrats’ YouTube debate earlier this week, some Republican candidate who actually are taking the presidential race seriously are re-thinking the decision to participate in a similar GOP YouTube debate this September. That’s completely understandable.

I had the opportunity to sit on an American Spectator Newsmaker Breakfast featuring longtime reporter/columnist Robert Novak this morning to discuss his new book, “The Prince of Darkness,” an autobiography covering his 50 years of covering politics in Washington.

So I’m in Washington, DC, this week and got into town in time to catch some of Newt Gingrich’s “American Solutions” workshop. Some 100 people were there in person…and some 6,000 were watching it live on the ‘net. It was vintage Newt.

Last month Anna Nicole Smith’s will was admitted to probate. Up for grabs is $710,000 - maybe more depending on the final outcome of Marshall v. Marshall. Yes, that’s right.
