Chyron of the Day: Neil Cavuto Learns How To Force Open Your Door

Fox News, 4:09pmET:

Today Neil Cavuto devoted an entire section of the A-block of his Fox News show Your World to a discussion about how best to remove a door. This is politically analogous to the “closed door” sessions that are occurring right now regarding the health care bill. But, really, it was about doors.

There were many chyrons we could have chosen here, but we went with, “How To Force A ‘Closed Door’ Open.” Teaching him this technique was John Galka, the owner of the “Mr. Handyman” franchise.

So here’s the backstory: For nine days (“Door-Gate Day 9″ is the logo now), Cavuto and some other Fox News hosts have made stories out of the symbolic closed door when it comes to health care, and on Friday, Cavuto drove the point home in a commentary, ominously titled, “The Door Is Shut Like Their Minds.” (Video at the end.)

Now we’re at Day 9 of this, so we get door experts. The segment mainly consisted of door-related jokes that should play well with the construction worker demo. “There’s the pocket door, right? That might be an acceptable solution,” said Cavuto. “Certainly the biggest issue is, though you have doors that are constantly being locked, and there’s no access, really – get rid of that door,” said Galka. Get it?

We can’t wait to see what Cavuto has planned for Door-gate Day 10…

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Supreme Court Will Not Overrule ‘Deem and Pass’

Bad news for Republicans should they be counting on using the Supreme Court as a last resort to block the Senate health care reform bill. Jeffrey Toobin visited Rick Sanchez today to talk about the chances of success Republicans will have if they try to legally oppose a "deem and pass" vote that would indirectly put the bill on the President's desk, and he didn't waste any time in telling the GOP that, quite simply, it's not going to happen.

CNN’s John King, USA Premieres On Web With Rehearsal Show

There are two very distinct things to note about the way CNN has introduced the upcoming 7pmET show John King, USA to its audience - the show itself and the way it happened. John King hosted a trial run of the program today on CNN.com/live, which gave a sneak peek at what the show will be, but also gave viewers a chance to give their take on the first look.
