According to Matt Drudge, Ms. Bumiller gets 1,600 front page words to recycle Democratic gossip about something we were joking about a week ago.
I want to see it before I start screaming about news priorities for a paper that can't spend three paragraphs clarifying the record on the Joe Wilson debacle that was all over their front pages a year ago.
And it may be that this is a "death by leak" ploy in which some disgruntled NY staffer with a toehold on reality leaks this to Drudge in hopes of killing it.
UPDATE: I don't need to wait any longer. Drudge was mostly) right - he said it would be all Dems, and we hear from some Reps.
I feel your pain... The priorities of the American press corps... AIIEEE!! AAAIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!! AAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe Wilson debacle? What's that? I haven't seen anything about that in the press.

Joe Wilson is a Pirate of the Caribbean.

So I followed TM's link to the Salon cruise column. Anyone else get the ad/link for DiversityInc on the right side? As I looked at the bios of the "special guest speakers," I couldn't notice how little diversity there is in their thinking. Looking at their pictures, I couldn't notice how little diversity there is in their skin color.
