Where's our Woodward and Bernstein?
I was expecting a huge blow out in the media today after the 60 Minutes piece last night. WTF?

I just chewed out some poor rep at my cable company because my digital channels are out and I can't get Keith Olberman tonight ... arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

4. You're kidding, right?
After all these years of watching "journalists" sucking BushCo's ass, you honestly think there's going to be someone who's going to do investigative reporting, triangulate sources, do the things that need to be done in order to report a credible and verifiable story, and find a newspaper that will publish it?

Put down the pipe. You've hurt your brain.

KO is on at midnight tonight, and doesn't he start up tomorrow at 10 a.m. in rerun of tonight's show? Or did I get that wrong?

7. A HUGE BLOWOUT?
Not until somebody gets a huge blowjob. Sorry, we here in the USA are not interested in a story unless it has lots of sex and plenty of violence. Now, what's new on the Duke rape case?

9. That's why if you ever want to fuck a politician
fuck one in Canada, no one would ever hear about it, and if they did, they wouldn't care.

I shut it off, and I'm hooked in to AAR right now. So, no new DNA to tell you about! :P

12. His name is Seymour Hersh
And he can kick Woodstein's ass any day of the week.

More importantly, where are the Katherine Grahams and Ben Bradlees?
