Want to know how slow a news day it is here in Georgia? Atlanta Journal-Constitution did write-up of Republican congressional staffer from Augusta who made The Hill‘s “50 Most Beautiful Washingtonians” list.

* Evan Thomas plumbs new depths of Nixon White House tapes.

* Fox Democrat Bob Beckel jumps shark again by calling Bachelorette Andi Dorfman “a slut.” Definitely time to retire, Bob.
