Earlier this year we chatted with Rachel Maddow (MSNBC host, swine flu survivor and cocktail aficionado) about many things, including the search for the perfect pre-prohibition Scotch drink. At the time, she told us, "Scotch is used in very few cocktails, but when it is used, it can be very effective. So I'm very interested in trying to figure out what's beyond the Blood and Sand in terms of Scotch in cocktails."

CBS Early Show host Harry Smith wasn't at work this morning—because he suspects he may have the H1N1 virus! While he's doing the right thing by not going into work and infecting coworkers and other people he might be commuting with, we are curious about Smith's self-diagnosis. From 1010WINS: "In an interview live from his New York City apartment Monday, Smith told CBS viewers he started feeling achy and feverish over the weekend after a 25-mile bike ride in the rain and dancing all night at a birthday party." Let's see, a 58-year-old man who biked 25 miles in the rain AND danced all night... yes, swine flu it is. Other symptoms include "Trouble breathing or shortness of breath," "Pain or pressure in the chest or stomach," "Sudden dizziness," "Confusion," and "Severe vomiting that won’t stop." And recently Rachel Maddow battled swine flu.

Recently, viewers of The Rachel Maddow Show have noticed that Rachel Maddow has been out, due to the flu. And last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, she revealed she had the swine flu! (She's one of those 1 in 10 New Yorkers!)

How are you doing, other than having to brave the mid-morning traffic? I'm good. Last night we did an interview on the show with Philip Zelikow, who was Condoleezza Rice's right hand man at the State Department when all the torture memo stuff was going on. There's this very grave, very serious first-draft-of-history sort of thing, and it was very exciting.

Though he initially said he wanted to remain anonymous, actor Chad Lindsey, who on Monday rescued a man who fell into the subway tracks in Penn Station, has been making the rounds, doing TV appearances with WCBS and Rachel Maddow's show. On the latter program, he recounts his daring rescue story with self-effacing aplomb, and while there aren't any new details revealed, many viewers will no doubt swoon to hear the cutie tell his tale.

The Observer considers the future of NBC reporter David Gregory, since "lame-duck presidents create lame-duck White House correspondents."
