Right on about those stereotypes. You forgot one, though - the "gay" neighbor next door or down the hall, who is always the voice of reason and way more sensitive or smart than the fat, dumb, white husband. Remember - a "gay" character on TV is NEVER wrong.

Yeah, it's us guys that want babies. We don't care about sex, just give us them kids--the more the merrier.

LOL! My thoughts exactly! Is this woman clueless or what?

Maybe it’s to balance out all the commercials that portray white males as bumbling idiots.

Greta Van Susteren, Judy Woodruff and Paula Zahn all have their own news shows on cable. Cable and the Internet are the future of the news. Why is Dowd so obsessed with who will read the teleprompter at the big three networks?

Carter intern Williams is a joke. On the day of the Columbine shooting:
"We should tell you that we are approaching 9:15 on the East Coast, 6:15 on the West Coast, on a day that follows one and precedes another, a day that is filled with 24 hours, each hour seeming like so many more. . . . "
