First up: O.J. Simpson gets sentenced!
Millions were enraged with the outcome of OJ Simpson's trial from 13 years ago,
believing that he got away with murder. Today, a judge sentenced Simpson for
the hotel-armed robbery gone wrong in Las Vegas. Simpson could serve anywhere
from nine to 33 years in prison, but did he get what he deserved for the
robbery? Or did he get what people thought he deserved for the murders they're
convinced he committed 14 years ago? MSNBC Senior Legal Analyst Susan Filan
will give us her take.

York. We'll talk to Newsweek's Howard Fineman and Atlantic Media's Ron
Brownstein for more on this developing story.
And in the Politics Fix, Pres. Bush's presidency is coming to an end while
Barack Obama insists we only have one president at a time. Is the struggle for
leadership hurting the economy even more? Hearst editor-at-large Phil Bronstein
