This seems at least as newsworthy and much more plausible than a Kerry-McCain ticket, also from today’s morning shows:

Rehnquist: “Well, at age 79 you can’t help but thinking about retirement.”
NBC’s Jamie Gangel: “Seriously? Are you making news here?”
Rehnquist: “No, I’m not. I assure you I’m not making it. I’m just saying, when you get to be 79-years-old you know your life expectancy isn’t what it once was and you’ve got to think about the possibility of retirement.”
Gangel: “For the foreseeable future though, you’re staying on the court?”
Rehnquist: “Well, I’ll just stick with what I just said.”
