We Are Posting This Totally Because Of The Fish

This is Good Morning America’s Chris Cuomo, on a fishing excursion in Montauk this weekend. He is holding a giant fish. That he totally caught. And, update: this post has been corrected from an earlier version which stated he didn’t catch it, because there were actually TWO giant fish, and two photos of Cuomo accordingly. The REALLY giant fish Cuomo didn’t catch, and that one is below. The only sort of giant fish is above, and Cuomo actually caught that, and then released it back into the wild, as we are assured he did with all his fish. (The one on the dock below apparently died before they could save it from having killed it with a fish hook.) But that’s not the point: the point is, Cuomo is an outdoorsman. A salty, windswept fisherman! A man of the sea! Which we respect. That’s the only reason we’d even think about posting this photo. We take sports things very seriously here at Mediaite. Congratulations, Chris Cuomo, on that fish you caught above, and on that fish your friend caught below!

In the meantime, the fact that our source assumed that the picture we were using was the one on the dock is sort of adorable. There’s method to our madness, people.

Update: New photo! Wow, that’s a big fish. Congratulations for that catch go to Todd Goergen, Gotham magazine wine columnist, for actually catching the fish. This is way more work than we usually do for a beefcake shot.

Somehow I should have figured that Rachel would use the picture without the shirt. The fish in the picture was caught by Chris and released unharmed along with numerous others. She also had a picture of him WITH his shirt on (taken at the dock and caight by a his buddy Todd), but strangely elected not to use it. No doubt Cuomo will toss me overboard the next time he sees me. I’ll get you for this Rachel!

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

by Frances Martel | 5:44 pm, Friday

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

by Steve Krakauer | 4:47 pm, Friday

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.
