New Jersey Governor Chris Christie sings Springsteen at his inaugural ball last night, accompanied by the Missus at right, and a son who looks even more miserable than Scott Brown’s daughters at left.

What? There’s something else notable about the photo? We’ll wait until Christie cuts food stamps to, um, weigh in.

And if you can hold out until the end, there’s a great teaser for the next story.

Okay, this is getting fun…

Sen. Max Baucus’ girlfriend met with his divorce attorney in 2007, months before the senator and his wife separated, and later received a nearly $14,000 pay raise from Baucus as they were becoming romantically involved, a spokesman for the senator said Friday…

Baucus, a Democrat who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, recommended Hanes for Montana’s U.S. attorney post in February, by which time the two were in a romantic relationship. He has called the former state prosecutor “highly qualified.”

We’ll grant it’s no Cocktober — neither a live boy nor a dead girl — but Baucus has been just short of Joe Lieberman in his efforts to tank a decent healthcare bill. If we can’t get bread from him, we’ll take circuses.

We need to watch Fox more often. Last night, Sean Hannity lit a huge spliff and passed it around the studio. By the time it reached Dana Perino it was a roaring bonfire, and she could barely keep her hands on the table while she riffed on Fort Hood:

PERINO: And we had a terrorist attack on our country. And we should call it what it is. Because we need to face up to it so that we can prevent it from happening again.

HANNITY: I agree with you. And why won’t they say what you just so simply said?

PERINO: They want to do all of their investigations. I don’t know. All of the thinking that goes into it. But we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term. I hope they’re not looking at this politically. I do think we ought it to the American people to call it what it is.

Three hits later, she was off on this wild theory about how reality’s just a social construct, dude, and if we all just believe that George W. Bush kept us safe, well, then it must be true.
