Heh. As Twitchy reported earlier, the other totally not shocking, “breaking” news this morning was Nancy Pelosi’s declaration that she’ll stay on as House minority leader. Gobsmacked … said no one.
And, Senator-elect King will caucus with the Democrats. How many reporters wasted their mornings so far?—
