The Briefing - 12.22.04

Well, the holidays are fast approaching and there is still nor report on the investigation of Rathergate. Maybe CBS will quietly release it on Christmas.

Tomorrow will be the last Briefing until next week. I am taking a short vacation to visit family.

President Bush has invited outgoing NAACP President and CEO Kweisi Mfume to a White House meeting scheduled for next Tuesday, December 28. This is the first time since Bush took office in 2000 that a officer of the nation's oldest civil rights organization has met with the President.

It is likely, however, that the meeting was agreed to only after Mfume announced his "retirement." NAACP Chairman Julian Bond has not been invited, but says, "We welcome any meeting with an American President." The Internal Revenue Service is currently investigating Bond and comments he made that may hurt the NAACP's tax-exempt status.

There is speculation that Mfume may be offered a post in the Bush Administration.

This morning the Laura Ingraham Show featured her selection for the best soundbite of the year. The winner was Zell Miller's speech at the GOP Convention.

Yes, Laura that is good, great even, but my selection would have been John Kerry saying, "I voted for it, before I voted against it."

More later.
