1. Amen. Stupid CNN.
i mean yes she is sexy. But yes there are a million important things going on that will never get frontpage status from CNN. Say, er, the systematic abuse of NSL's by the FBI this year?

3. That's why I'm watching college basketball
There's nothing like March Madness.

I usually have CNN on during the daytime but I haven't watched it since the Spitzer story broke because i cannot stand the sensationalism.

4. I'm surprised at how long this is going.
Sure it's a sex story but how much coverage did Vitter get? A day?

Why didn't Vitter get so much press?
No need to answer, I know ...

My corporate-owned paper has had Spitzer on the front page for three days ... Vitter never made it there once.

11. That was hilarious.
One of those "Ohhhhhhh yeah, there is actual news out there" moments. But don't worry, it will pass
