TPMLivewire has running coverage of the horrific news coming out of Newtown, Conn.
Update: Because of the news coming from Newtown today, we’re going to postpone this chat to next week. You can continue submitting your questions, but Brian will not respond to them until a date TBD next week.
Heads up that I’ll be doing a live chat with TPM Prime members at 4 p.m. this afternoon.
Topics include the fiscal cliff, the debt ceiling, taxes, health care and any of the myriad silly things Congress does. Get your questions in now.

From the AP …
A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim “didn’t put up a fight” during her assault and that if someone doesn’t want sexual intercourse, the body “will not permit that to happen.”
It sounds like the story and video from that Fox News ‘contributor’ (i.e., concern troll) about getting beaten up by ‘union thugs’ isn’t holding up very well.

I have to say I find this disappointing. I didn’t come into this with any particular feeling that Susan Rice needed to be Secretary of State. I was even a tad surprised when someone first floated the idea to me a couple months ago. But a totally cooked up smear campaign against Rice seems to have worked. My sense was that the President was personally deeply offended by the attacks on Rice. And yet it worked. I’m curious to find out what really happened.
Also curious whether she’s destined for the NSC.
