A GRAMMY?

Wow. A Grammy?
Sen. Barack Obama was nominated Thursday for a Grammy Award, but the Illinois Democrat was cited not for his singing, but for his speaking.

In the somewhat obscure field known as Grammy Category 77, he was nominated for best spoken word album for his recording of his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father." He spent more than 15 hours in the sound booth recording his book.

When asked for Obama's reaction, his spokesman, Robert Gibbs, quipped: "He does want to be known as the artist formerly known as Barack Obama."

So here's a question for you: How many US Senators would let their spokespeople respond to a question like that?

Rock on Barack! Rock on....
