Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine...
Snow Job
As another round of winter weather blasts much of the country some folks in Atlanta feel like they were victimized by last week's snow storm twice.
Many drivers caught in the snow and ice ended up abandoning their cars on the highway and apparently a couple of crooks decided those cars were ripe for the taking.
Police got suspicious when they saw an abandoned car being hooked up to an unmarked tow truck.
They ended up finding three more cars stolen from area highways.
It turns out the tow truck was stolen too.
Harsh Spotlight
Laura Bush says America is too consumed with the appearance of first ladies.
It's a problem she feels that would not exist if the president's spouse were male.
The former first lady tells C-SPAN, she does not think there is a way of getting around the fascination and critiquing of the first lady's hair and makeup.
She joked about what would happen when a woman is elected president.
Quote -- "Maybe we should be that way about the first gentleman also, and really critique the way they look all the time, their choice of tie, or their hairstyle, or whatever. Or maybe their weight."
Game On
