Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for Friday, June 15th, the Flirt Friend and Chat Edition.

I'm David Plotz, apparently still the editor of Slate, here in Washington, D.C., with John Dickerson,

Slate's chief political correspondent and political director of CBS News, and like a minor league

baseball star, he is blessed with a huge bag of sunflower seeds.

Would John rattle that bag for the microphone, would you?

Which he'll be chawing on throughout the show, giving him energy and protein that will make his already fast brain move even faster. Joining us from New Haven, as per usual, Matt as a hornet, tall as a tree, Emily Bazelon, Slate Senior Editor. Hello, Emily. Hello. She's steaming, mad. She is really mad. She's just spitting nails. Listen to that. Just so, you know, the context here. Because she could barely get that hello out. Normally and friendly. You're normally friendly, and now you're just like, the're just like... She's looking for a puppy to stomp.

She's that angry.

Man.

All right.

We've got three topics this week, Emily.

I hope you bear your teeth at all of them.

The first one will be national politics is the Obama campaign in chaos and is Jeb Bush off the same meds

that Bill Clinton is off. And the second topic will be sex crimes linked to the underage

social media site, Scout or part of it's not all underage, just some of it's underage.

You know, if I were a pedophile looking to sort of find people to pedophile over, I think I would go to something that was called Scout.

That would be where I'd look.
