Amid the unexpected news of the day (Brown resigns from FEMA -- okay, expected but not necessarily today, LA blackouts) Matthew Felling's letter to Romenesko make me snicker.
...Today, CNN has brought us the 6-way split screen, a 3 by 2 matrix:
Cam 1: John Roberts
Cam 2: Some senator speaking
Cam 3: Some picture of the capitol, wisely remaining silent.
Cam 4: A street-view of the Supreme Court.
Cam 5: Another view of the Senator speaking, but one-second off from Camera 2.
(I'm getting dizzy)
Cam 6: Different video -- sometimes Bush in Mississippi, sometimes "The Roberts Hearings" on the screen, sometimes Jeff Greenfield.
I think we'll all look back on September 12th longingly, at some (probably too soon) point in the future, when every cable news outlet decides to resemble Hollywood Squares. ("I'll take Carrot Top and Homeland Security for the Block.")

Well, we know that Rush Limbaugh loves 24, and apparently Daryn Kagan IMs him frequently during the commercial break, so....
