Nick Denton seems to think so, calling them the “cosiest co-anchors” and saying their “on-air antics have convinced MSNBC grunts the two are pursuing an off-camera affair.” Of course, Denton also calls Scarborough a “liberal darling,” so who knows if it’s true?

From a tipster:

On 2/8/08 flying CO flight 659 F Washington Reagan to Houston-Bush Intl. Sat behind Sheila Jackson Lee in first class. As we left the plane in Houston, a heavily armed policeman wearing a bullet proof vest was standing in the jetway by the door. He escorted Ms. Lee up the jetway to an electric cart. Even though there was a shortage of carts, she rode in the cart with only the policeman sitting behind her. Why would Ms. Lee need an armed escort in an airport where everyone must go through to security to reach the gates. How much does this cost taxpayers?

This is gossip at this point, but rumor has it that Larry Sinclair, the increasingly throbbing thorn in Sen. Barack Obama’s side, has retained a high profile lawyer to help him fight his defamation suit against the senator and his adviser, David Axelrod. We’ve been told that Sinclair’s lawyer may be Joe Tacopina, who represents Joran Van Der Sloot, the individual accused in the Natalie Holloway murder case. But that is speculation at this point. Stay tuned. In the mean time, Sinclair has supposedly arrived in NYC in advance of taking a polygraph and is expected to hold a press conference in the coming days.

From the anonymous tip box:

Why is Karl Rove advising Hillary’s campaign staff on dirty tricks? Americans are too smart to fall for nasty antics like that…Also, why was there a huge shredding truck parked outside Hillary’s campaign headquarters in Ballston last night?

We’d love more details, tipster, so please e-mail tips@bigheadDC.com — and include a picture of that “huge shredding truck,” why don’t you.

Yes, that was Newsweek’s Howard Fineman applying what looked like brown mascara in a tube to his own temples in a men’s restroom, apparently in preparation to be on air for MSNBC’s coverage of tonight’s big Democratic presidential debate. The forever brown-haired Washington correspondent must not have had time for his wife, Amy L. Nathan, to give him the full dye treatment last night. A source who’s just a hair away from the intrepid newsman tells Big Head DC that Mrs. Fineman blabbed recently to pals about regularly doing the colorful deed. Hey, maybe her hands are just tired? Born in 1948, we’d guess Fineman has quite a lot of gray to cover-up.
