Charlie's Show Prep #42

Call this the "I'm on my way to Washington, D.C." edition:

• Bush bashers "Wellstoned" Coretta Scott King's funeral. President Carter took a shot at President Bush by mentioning how the government wiretapped the Kings. Rev. Joseph Lowery said, "We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there." He received a standing ovation for that jab. All the while President Bush sat a few feet away and took it. President Clinton took the narcissistic route and made his speech all about him and Hillary. What does the Left end of the blogosphere do: they cheer. Here's video of Carter and Lowery.

• There will much talk at CPAC about immigration. To add to the discussion studies have found immigrants create good job growth in cities.

• If I weren't in D.C. this Saturday I'd be at Lambeau Field watching a hockey game.

• Pepsi will soon come out with a Ben & Jerry's drink. If it tastes as good and their oatmeal cookie ice cream they'll have a winner with me.
