CNN has a live camera trained on the Capital
The voice over assures, "All is quiet in Washington amid the breaking GOP scandal". They showed it as a bumper, right before reading the headlines.

That made me very, very happy. :) This is going to be one crazy-ass news week!

3. A live camera? On the Captial? At night?
Isn't this like having a live camera trained on a glacier and having a voiceover assure, "It's going to be a slow, cold night..." ?

Fucking MSM. Brilliant writing, that. :eyes:

4. What's that line about the one sure way to ruin a political career....
"be caught with a dead girl or a live boy"

And the media cannot RESIST a sex scandal. I long ago stopped caring WHY they might choose to turn on the repubs--I'm just delighted to see it beginning, overdue as it is.

10. That was the vibe I got
Even though I was only 4 during Watergate I still remember watching it go down on the news.

It seems like this might turn in to a big media circus. For once it's not about a missing blonde or Kobe Bryant.
