...what sanford SHOULD have said.....LOL

A man who apologizes to his wife and children, who holds forth tearfully about having betrayed them, for media consumption, is, anyway, too lacking in dignity to hold public office of any kind.

"So let's understand this. I plan to straighten my tie, button my jacket, maybe buy a new suit, and go forward to do what I have to do. Life's complicated, ladies and gentlemen, but there's work to be done. I'll have nothing further on this, count on it.

One might have thought it was Shep, rather than Anderson Cooper, who went to Club 54 with Jackson when he was 10...

So they can cover Farrah and Micheal Jackson’s deaths ..... But it is insedulous how little they cover the facts behaind so-called the 1200 page 1.3 trillion dollar tax-and trade boondoggle.

I would say that given the intellect of the average reporter, that's about right.

The last time any of the msm types read a thousand pages was back in 2008 when they were having threesomes with their copies of Dreams from my Father and The Audacity of Hope.

MJ the POST-RACIAL performer. surely our post-racial president has commented on his passing by now?

He's too busy moonwalking around the Oval office since this interrupts any coverage of his policies....Matt Lauer is absolutely starry eyed...

we are doomed. if it’s the end times, as Rush intimated as the rationale for sanford’s idiocy, i want to go shopping in europe with the kids tuition money before the curtain comes down!

That's what passes for Journalism these days...

"I'm here because I've traveled through the health care system and there are some holes," said Falco, who played a nurse on popular sitcom The Sopranos.

Ummm no honey...She played a mob wife on The Sopranos (not to be mistaken for a sitcom) she plays a nurse on NURSE JACKIE.... a sitcom...FCOL.

and your knowledge of popular culture is impressive. i could not detect the inaccuracies in that sentence since #1 haven’t seen either show #2 never heard of edie falco and couldn’t identify her in a lineup. you could give soother a run for his money on the popular culture quiz!

Tribulation. Not the End.

The problem is no one seems to understand what the root cause is, or how to fix it.

Here's the symptom

The cure should be obvious...

The Sopranos was the biggest cable TV produced television series, probably ever.

Hardly a trivial pursuit item

And Nurse Jackie is advertised incessantly.
