Britney Spears has nothing on Mercury, but Mercury's got plenty on Britney Spears...
...tight seven-and-a-half-minute nationally televised thank-you speech to the American people that was, Clinton insisted with an odd redundance, his last speech "from the Oval Office as your president" (will he sneak back in while Bush is in Europe?), the eyes did not moisten.

But according to one staffer for a moderate House Democrat, Bush needs to move fast and recognize that any real push for cooperation can't be about lip service. "For the moment, anyway, everyone seems prepared to cooperate - and there will be, I think, a genuine effort to figure out what 'bipartisanship' really means," the staff member told TIME.com Friday. "From our standpoint, it's about both Republicans and Democrats being in the room when bills are being...
