valentine's day Mrs. Robinson (featuring MSNBC anchor Alex Witt)

valentine's day I'm willing to admit the following things: I am indeed a bit of a politics/news junkie... as a result I do tend to watch MSNBC fairly often/more often than I should... and as a result of that, I just might have developed a small crush on MSNBC anchor Alex Witt (above) a few years ago. I think it started sometime around the time that Soledad O'Brien went on maternity leave, which (oddly enough) coincided with a full-time switch from CNN to MSNBC for me. Anyway, for whatever reason, I finally decided to poke around Google early this week and see what I might learn about Alex Witt from, say, the mighty Wikipedia.

In nearly no time at all I was on the MySpace page of her pop band (?!) Mrs Robinson listening to a song about falling in love on Jet Blue...

valentine's day There's not exactly a wealth of information to be culled from Mrs. Robinson's (pictured above) MySpace page, but here's what I've put together so far:

- the band is made up of three women who hold the following occupations: pet grooming salon owner (le Beastro), record label employee (SRP Records), and MSNBC anchor.
- they've performed at various sporting events, on the Don Imus show (see below), and at some event called Mamapalooza.
- they have an album, a single, and some remixes available for purchase on iTunes.
- their overall sound is a little bit Wilson Phillips, a little bit Dixie Chicks, and a little bit R&B.
- the Mrs. Robinson song "Get Up" was featured in the film Single.
- the name of the band is very befitting.
- apparently they "have a sitcom about (their) kookie lives in development... so we fly Jet Blue from JFK to Burbank all the time."

I realize this isn't exactly the newest of news items, but I couldn't help myself. It's like seeing your teacher outside of the classroom doing something other than teach... Alex Witt plays in a band?? Amazing!
