Like I said, I've been so busy helping OUR stations cover this thing that I haven't really had time (before last night) to really watch anyone else's work.

The Big Three Networks are, as usual, demonstrating that they are no longer worthy of carrying the name "News Media." I just listened to a reporter with ABC (or was it CBS?) ask the president's Press Secretary if we were going to attack Pakistan if it didn't help us.

Like we're going to say that kind of thing in public. Duh.

Reminds me of a skit that Saturday Night Live did during the Gulf War; the actors played newstypes interviewing a press secretary.

"Mr. Secretary, we understand that there are some secret codes that you use to direct your airplanes. Could you let us know what they are?"

"Mr. Secretary, could you provide us with a map of where you're going to strike next?"

You're right, they're amazing.

(Contrast this with what G. Gordon Liddy said on his show this morning: "Let's keep sending the planes, every plane in the fleet. Keep that rubble bouncing!")

I remember that skit. Chris Farley was in it I think.

"Keep that rubble bouncing". Love it.
