Actually they are some of the best paid reporters. They're paid HUGE sums to spy and lie in wait for their subjects. While a lot of the stuff is BS, they've also cracked a lot of stories... including John Edwards' affair.

Oh, so I should take their accusations that Sarah Palin had an affair with her hubby's business partner seriously?

I just caught two episodes of West Wing on Bravo. It was the two that take place at the Democratic National Convention - where Santos becomes the nominee. Very topical.

I miss that show. It was so cool.

I certainly don't care that an 18 year old said he didn't want kids, and I don't especially care that he said what he said on a My Space page as opposed to in a bar or to a hooker or anywhere.

I half wonder if he said it at all. It almost sounds like it could have been written as part of the campaign to paint the election as a Lifeboat-style choice between well-mannered f*gs and rough and ready (Christian) hellraisers. If McCain and Palin are asked to comment on what he said, I assume they'll praise it and call for the appointment of judges who will hold statutes criminalizing asskicking unconstitutional except when done by black people.
