From the looks of that picture, Mr. Rooney has a right to complain. Yikes.

There's a representative sampling of our male main-stream media: every one of `em older than Roosevelt's jock-strap.

(You know, if you photoshopped him a tooth-brush mustache, Dirty Dan would bear an uncanny resemblance to a former German dictator.)

Between Walter Cronkite, Larry King and Andy Rooney, it sort of looked like a George Romero movie.

If I was there, I would have been worried that Jennings might awake and try to eat me.

I hope there's also a Memorial for Truth nearby, where the bodies of the stories Jennings murdered can be laid to rest...

Seeing these pics just shows that the expression "media elite" is not a meaningless slogan, but describes a very specific group of people who wield vast power and influence.

I saw Christinane at Andrews AFB several years ago. She was wearing black leather pants and walking around like she was the wing commander.

She didn't like being told she could not walk all over the flight line.

Do you think Rather and Browkaw will put on another skin crawling self promoting spectacle like they did on the Emmys? It rivaled the wellstone "funeral" on the embarassment meter for those of you who missed it.
