The Ticker (p.m. edition): Adoption, Bohrman, E-Cards…

> TVNewser contributor Diane Clehane writes about her experience, and the experience of others, regarding Chinese adoption on Vanityfair.com. She quotes 48 Hours EP Susan Zirinsky, who adopted a baby from China in 1996: “Instead of not having the child, they bravely have the child and give it up for adoption.”

> CNN D.C. bureau chief David Bohrman is profiled in the Stamford Advocate (CT), and sums up his job for Neil Vigdor: “I’m the one who tells Wolf [Blitzer], ‘Hey, out of the break we’re going to call (Indiana).’ I’m sort of the final decider in the chain.”

> If you really like MSNBC’s Chuck Todd or Rachel Maddow, maybe you’d be interested in sending an e-card. There are a lot of option, including one card containing the phrase, “intellectually bitchslap Buchanan.”
