According to The Weather Channel, there is a 100% chance of SNOW for Washington DC on Tuesday afternoon. Does not bode well for attendance . I wonder if the show will be canceled?????? |

MEDIA BLITZ I said BLITZ not BLIZZARD There will probably be a diminished amount of Media from Taylor until the snow has been cleared and things get back to normal in DC. I have heard that another storm is due on Monday, but it may not be of any consequence.....let's hope not. The archive and/or show should be at this website. http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/politics/washingtonunplugged/main503863.shtml 1. He is supposed to be on the roundtable on Washington Unplugged, which is a 15 min webcast from D.C., but no date is given. However, their videos are archived. . The webcast is, I believe, at 12:30 pm EST. http://www.newsonnews.net/cbs/1879-cbsnews-com-celebrates-one-year-anniversary-of-washington-unplugged-with-special-show.html CBSNews.com Celebrates One Year Anniversary of 'Washington Unplugged' With Special Show Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 February 2010 09:05 Wednesday, 10 February 2010 09:05 CBSNews.com has announced the one-year anniversary of Washington Unplugged, a 15-minute Webcast that streams daily Monday through Friday at 2:00 PM ET. CBSNews.com kicks off the celebration with a week of special guests at its Washington bureau. The Webcasts can be viewed each day at www.cbsnews.com/washingtonunplugged. Hosted by Bob Schieffer, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent and Moderator of Face the Nation, the daily Webcast is a hard-hitting, politics-centered discussion about the week's news that features CBS News Washington correspondents as well as political analysts and pundits. This week's news includes the debate on the future of health care, Sarah Palin at the Tea Party convention, and White House's attempts at bipartisanship following the State of the Union. This week's guests include U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Representative Darrell Issa, Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Tea Party Organizers Jenny Beth Martin and Max Pappas, Politico's chief political correspondent Mike Allen, former wife of South Carolina Governor Jenny Sanford, former American Idol contestant Taylor Hicks, and a roundtable of the most popular guests on the show including CBS News Political Consultant Marc Ambinder and CBS News National Security Consultant Juan Zarate. There will also be an "Unplugged Under 40" segment on the Georgetown Cupcake Girls, the owners behind Washington, DC's confectionary phenomenon Georgetown cupcake. "The webcast has tapped into an increasing demand for high-quality, intelligent, appointment programming on the web," said Chris Isham, CBS News Washington Bureau Chief. "It has provided an important platform for our reporters to explore new stories and discover new players. Its format allows informal conversations, produces unexpected insights and it's quite entertaining." "What's great about Washington Unplugged is that it gives us a place to report those little stories, the delicious little nuggets of news that there is no room for on television," said Schieffer. "A year ago, we started Washington Unplugged to provide an outlet for people who wanted a more provocative analysis of the week's political headlines," said Mark Larkin, Vice President of CBSNews.com. "The Webcast has been a great success and continues to deliver an in-depth look at the people and news that are shaping the world." Originally launched as a weekly webcast, Washington Unplugged quickly grew in popularity to a daily webcast from Monday through Friday. Anchored by Bob Schieffer, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent and Moderator of Face the Nation, the Webcast has included such guests as Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, cabinet members Arne Duncan and Kathleen Sebelius, actors Goldie Hawn and Morgan Freeman and political notables Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, Olympia Snow, Tim Pawlenty, Tom Daschle, Bobby Jindal and Haley Barbour among others. Other regular hosts include CBS News correspondents John Dickerson, Nancy Cordes, Bob Orr and Sharyl Attkisson. Edited by mouser, Feb 11 2010, 12:16 PM.

Found this in today's Boston Globe, accompanied by a very nice photo of Taylor standing between Senator Scott Brown and his wife, all looking quite distinguished! (Sen. Brown is the recently elected Senator from MA who succeeded the late Senator Ted Kennedy.) It's All Water Under the Bridge "The Bay State’s new senator, Scott Brown, and his wife, Channel 5’s Gail Huff, attended opening night of “Grease’’ at the National Theatre in Washington Tuesday. And who should they run into but season five “American Idol’’ winner Taylor Hicks (center). So what, you say? Brown and Huff’s daughter, Ayla, was a semifinalist on season five of “Idol.’’ Judging from the smiles, there are no hard feelings." |

Thanks, mouser, for adding the photo to my post. When I accessed the article I had read in the Boston Globe today, I found it on Boston.com, but without the photo. I will have to admit that if the photo had been there, I'm not sure I would have known how to add it to my post (still a bit computer-challenged here!)  So thanks again for finding and adding the photo ~ love seeing Taylor looking so happy!
