Talking Out The Trash, 2.21.06

Leftovers from the Presidents’ Day Weekend:

• William Powers explains what journalists can learn from the Winter Olympics (besides, don’t ever wear spandex).

• In honor of David Gregory, John Tierney gives us “David’s Law.”

• Mary Matalin gets all sweet and polite on Meet the Press. Samples: “Well, Maureen Dowd, the diva of the smart set would be swooning”; “Because you went on a jihad, David. For four days you went on a Jihad.”
