"The funny thing about the H&C episode is that it was Colmes that kept bringing up Sheehan's interest in internet pornography. He must mentioned it over and over. "

TOTALLY! In the interview neither Melanie Morgan nor Catherine Moy had mentioned this or attacked Sheehan on this. Just her being used as a pawn for John Kerry campaign and stuff related to the debate over the war.

But then Colmes kept bringing up Sheehan's extra-marital affairs and her addiction to online pornography that developed after her son died.

I was wondering if the girls' publicist slipped Colmes a $100 bill and asked him to stress anything juicy he could to make the audience pay closer attention to the book. I'm sure thousands of couch-potatoed Americans, half-paying attention as they laid back and vegged in front of the TV had their ears suddenly perk up at all of this talk of X-rated Internet Messages, online porn websites and chat rooms and the adulterous behavior of Cindy Sheehan.

Colmes was clearly instrumental in pumping up the sales of this book. Pretty funny, really. Maybe he did take something under the table :)

Heh! Maybe! But probably Colmes just knew that there are two types of people sympathetic to the Internet porn scene:

1. Libs, sure to be outraged at such an invasion of privacy.
2. Conservatives and libertarians who hate social conservatives because we see porn as anything different from drinking a wine cooler.

Colmes knows that by focusing on the porn, he can pre-empt any development of doubt in the minds of the first group, and feed the stereotyping in the minds of the seconds group.
