Ambassador Rodman? - Hall of Fame basketball star Dennis Rodman is raising eyebrows for more than his curious style. After returning from a trip to North Korea where he met with dictator Kim Jong-Un, he has a message for President Obama "He wants Obama to do one thing: Call him. He said, 'If you can, Dennis, I don't want [to] do war. I don’t want to do war.' He said that to me," Rodman announced on ABC's This Week. (Photo: AP Photo/Kyodo News)

Shaq Attack - Former basketball great Shaquille O'Neal like many doesn't understand what possessed Dennis Rodman to travel to North Korea to visit with dictator Kim Jong-Un. "I think we as people should understand our roles in life," O'Neal said on CBS This Morning. "And I think certain people should leave diplomacy to the diplomats. It was a very, very risky move what he did." (Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Not Over It - Mitt Romney is still nursing his wounds over losing his White House bid in 2012. And watching Obama and Congress battle over taxes and budget cuts exacerbates the sting. "It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done," said the Republican on Fox News Sunday, adding that Obama is campaigning instead of leading.

Chauvinist Much? - Connecticut state Rep. Ernest Hewett has been stripped of his deputy speaker leadership position as the result of a lewd comment made to teenage girl during a hearing in February. Now he says he doesn't want female interns working in his office. "That may sound sexist, but I really don't," said the father of two daughters and a son. "That way, that keeps me good and that keeps everybody else good." (Photo: House Dems of Connecticut)
