ONE-DAY WONDER
Sen. Specter Still Sitting by the Phone
Waiting for the Call that Will Never Come

For a story that's going to last, at most, one day, Sen. Arlen Specter's (R-Pa.) little whine about not getting even one phone call from Vice President Dick Cheney is getting an extraordinary amount of media attention.

Pouts Sen. Specter in a note passed to the vice president: "I was surprised, to say the least, that you sought to influence, really determine, the action of the Committee without calling me first, or at least calling me at some point."

What? No exclamation points? No frowny faces above the i's?

Count on Sen. Specter to have forgotten about the whole thing by dinner time.
