Some housekeeping stuff right up front: The Briefing is going on vacation next week
and will return on the 23rd....Chris is going on vacation for the next couple of weeks
and Barnicle will guest host...We may have a surprise host or two as well! I've taken
a peek at our "stacks list" (our super secret file where we keep our guest bookings)
for next week and fun guests include Hillary biographer Gail Sheehy and Republican
strategist Ed Rollins...
As always, I encourage your bookmarking of http://msnbc.com to get the latest
news...And just because The Briefing is going out of town doesn't mean it's exempt
from watching the show...It still remains appointment viewing even on vacation...
Yeah I'm late but this has been a very, very crazy day....You can still watch the show
at 11 pm and 2 am eastern...

Nobody scouring Hillary Clinton's cautious but admirable new memoir for revelations
appears to have stuck around for the acknowledgments. On page 529, Clinton somewhat
shockingly identifies her longtime right arm, Lissa Muscatine, as "[r]esponsible for
many of the words in my speeches as first lady and in this book." How's that again?
