Quotes of the Day Anchor gives shout-out to deceased father "Dad, thinking about you a lot today." -- NBC Political Director Chuck Todd at the close of MSNBC's "The Daily Rundown" Wednesday. How stupid can people be? "Ridiculous that this has to be explained to people, but yes, Susan Rice said the Benghazi attacks were spontaneous." -- The Washington Examiner's David Freddoso, linking to this story. Love and a fashion advice for Chuck Todd "Kuddos for @chucktodd for following up on two questions. More of that makes for a real news conference." -- National Journal Editor-in-Chief Ron Fournier. "Thanks, Chuck Todd, 10 more minutes of same filibuster we had after Q1 and Q2. #Brilliant" -- Breitbart.com's John Nolte. "Chuck, I love you man.
