In congress, a change in discourse?
There has been a lot of lofty rhetoric this week about toning down the inflamatory political discussions around the country, and showing respect to the dead and wounded from the attack in Arizona by being more civil on the airwaves and in Washington.

We also speak with Todd about Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison’s announcement yesterday that she won’t run for re-election.
