Debra Fischer yesterday, she shook hands with her and then offered her hand to Fischer's husband Bruce -- who put his hand in his pocket and refused to look at her. Why do you suppose that is?

    Maria Bartiromo cosigned Don Junior's claim that many people he knew in New York who were anti-gun, now want to buy a gun and learn how to use them. Whenever Junior talks about speaking to "people," he's not discussing actual working-class Americans, but rich elitists.
