Picture of the Day





"So, why don't we lead the news tonight with a Katie Couric teaser, then start with Delay and Cynthia McKinney. Then, maybe on to the Duke Lacrosse Team. Wait. Where are we going to fit in the DHS sex scandals, and we probably ought to do a piece on immigration, people are talking about that....."

  • That's my point. There are more critical things going on right now than those that are being placed atop the news.

    I think the McKinney thing is getting press because the Repubs are pushing it as a distraction, but also because McKinney is pretty crazy. It's a bit salacious, but if she had just quietly admitted wrongdoing with some explanation of a bad day, it probably would have been dropped.

    Instead, she inflamed the situation.
