JIM: Hey Donny! Donny! I got something real juicy.

DONNY: Juicy? How juicy?

JIM: Bill Clinton juicy.

DONNY: Jesus! Well, don't keep me in suspense. Let me have it.

JIM: Get this. David Paterson-

DONNY: Yeah?

JIM: The guy replacing Spitzer-

DONNY: Right?

JIM: Spitzer, who was taken out because of his affairs-

DONNY: Not exactly, but OK.

JIM: Paterson had affairs.

DONNY: What?

JIM: And not just a couple, they almost broke up his marriage.

DONNY: No way.

JIM: I mean, they worked it out and all, the two of them, but it's never been a big public fiasco.

DONNY: Well we gotta make it one.

JIM: That's exactly what I was thinking.

DONNY: Let's make a fiasco!

JIM: We can blow this whole thing SO far out of proportion.

DONNY: FIASCO!!!!! JIM! BLOW THE FIASCO WHISTLE AND LET'S GET THE MEDIA TRAIN RUNNING! TOOT TOOOOOOOOOT!!!

(Across the room, another member of the MSNBC staff watches Paterson's speech. He walks over.)

PETER: Umm guys?

JIM: PETER! We're gonna have a fiasco!

PETER: Well, that's the thing. He's announcing it.

JIM: What?

DONNY: Like, he's coming out and admitting that he wasn't perfect on his own? Without being humiliated into it by us?

PETER: Yeah. He's giving a good speech about it.

DONNY: Oy.

JIM: Well...what do we do now?

DONNY: You want to make a story about Letterman making fun of McCain for being old?

JIM: Ok.

End.
