From the Biden/Palin fight! department... The Roots @ The Backyard on Oct 12th with Gym Class Hereos and Estelle!-----
I'm so sad that my home girl, Gwen Ifill, broke her ankle. But she's a trooper and is going to kick ass in the Vice Presidential debates! Don't let that ankle hold you back, grrrl! Also take it easy on my MILF, she's fragile!
