Even in the midst of the news blackout, the most absurd stuff from the American main-stream media seeps into my little world.
Today, on my main e-mail list, one of my good friends posted several CNN banners he had noted:
"Boehner Pokes Fun At Weiner"
"Pressure On Weiner Begins To Swell"
Really, this is news? Holy cripes, I guess I'm not missing much. I suppose that the only thing different about this "scandal" is that it involves a male conservative and a female. It's almost refreshing.
So, credit where credit is due, another person on the afore-mentioned e-mail list took the headlines a step further with a fictional banner that might read:
"Boehner introducing Weiner to Bush"
Hah! Sometimes this stuff just writes itself. Oh well. Maybe a year of no news is not quite enough. I'm thinking maybe a decade. What would it be like to miss two more election cycles. I think it would be almost as big a change as a conservative sex scandal that doesn't involve two people of the same sex.
I suppose it's nice that Weiner is bringing the Right back into line with the good old family values of hetero-affairs.
