PETER SAGAL, HOST: What did you guys think of the election night coverage?  Good, bad, indifferent?

CHARLIE PIERCE, THE BOSTON GLOBE: I don't know.  I hate to say it, but you know who was really good?

PETER SAGAL: Who?

CHARLIE PIERCE: Karl Rove

AMY DICKINSON, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Yeah, he was on Fox.

CHARLIE PIERCE: He was doing the county-by-county thing on Fox, he was really good.

AMY DICKINSON: He was doing the John Madden, you know mark up on the board, he was really good.

CHARLIE PIERCE: And you could hardly notice the brimstone on his feet too, that was great.
