Dan Abrams is not having a good year. First, he was “excused” from his duties as MSNBC General Manager to focus on the inevitable battle for third place at 9 p.m. Then, he poorly managed the whole David Shuster/Rep. Marsha Blackburn debacle — an issue that spiraled as a result of Abrams bad judgments.

Now, he has decided to defend Chris “I swear I’m not partisan yet I attack the GOP during a boring book party last week” Matthews on the eve of the destined-to-be low rated GOP debate that Matthews is co-moderating in Michigan today. How does he defend Matthews? By going after Brit Hume, FNC Washington Managing Editor and host of Special Report with Brit Hume during his “Beat the Press” segment last night.

Seriously? One more time… Seriously? Read more…

Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez has taken a couple of hours out of her August recess to make a cameo appearance on “The Closer,” the drama series on cable’s TNT network, starring Kyra Sedgwick.

“I played myself,'’ Sanchez told the Orange County Register. “I was playing a smart congresswoman.'’

Sanchez added that she knows the show’s creator James Duff, and when she called him to congratulate him on the show’s high ratings, Duff said he’d like to write her into one of the episodes.

Not one to turn down a romp in the spotlight, Sanchez readily agreed. She’ll appear in the second part of this season’s finale, which airs at 9 p.m. Sept. 10 on TNT. She will share her time on camera with CNN talk show host Larry King, in which he asks her about a high-profile murder. They both play themselves.

“We did one take,'’ Sanchez mused, and King turned to the director and said “perfect.'’ The director then corrected the veteran talk show host, saying he had actually flubbed one line so they did another take.

Sanchez didn’t have that problem: “For me to memorize things I write them down,'’ she explained.
