There’s been a leadership vacuum in Washington for quite a while now. You can hear the giant sucking sound all the way to the Hawaiian Islands. In fact, some say all that rushing air causes most of the hurricanes and tidal waves out in the vast waters of the Pacific.

Dateline: Washington DC Today, at 12:00 pm, ET, The American Way Of Life took her last breath. Dependent upon public healthcare for her survival, she had been on life support in recent years.
