Well Scott if it was an Ossoff staffer who left her boss a series of private notes that alarmed the Secret Service, then yes it would be a newsworthy story for you to discuss on air.
Jennings: Ossoff had dozens of female staffers. What if I walked out here tonight and read a list of their names and said, here's such and such. Here's her title. And boy, it sure is sure is interesting that she hangs out with Jon ossoff so much. Oh, she looks pretty nice. I wonder why he did that. What if I did that?
Actually those two words, along with his subtle usage of "their" in reference to Air Force One—"travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace"—got his message more widespread attention than it would have otherwise received.
No one has been more consistently eloquent or incisive in exposing @realDonaldTrump than @Ossoff. The paragraph from his weekend speech that has gotten so much attention was a brutal takedown.
But two words in it, "with Natalie" seemed gratuitous and unnecessary.
They juiced the virality of it, I'm sure. Probably thrilled some in the base, who figured it was just giving Trump a taste of his own nasty medicine.
But they distracted and detracted from the power of the message.

They say you haven’t lived until you’ve been laid off. I’ve now lived once.
Gutted to see so many coworkers lose their jobs at the Post today. If you know anyone who’s hiring a politics/culture/magazine writer with a law degree who also speaks Spanish:

As a Yale student, I see the university’s double-speak on “institutional neutrality” as dangerous bit.ly/4nKGcyv
As party leader, @TeamPelosi knew her power and wielded it with skill and precision. Democrats apparently weren't paying attention. My latest for @Salon.

As a cradle baseball fan I loved talking with the great sportswriter @janeleavy1 about her new book, and what's wrong and right with baseball, for @Salon. Make her commissioner @MLB!

Kirk’s killer has not been identified. Historically, those who commit political violence have confusing ideologies and are motivated for reasons that don’t match our partisan divides. That’s why political violence should always be condemned, regardless of motives.
