Burkle-gate to sideline Hillary?

That’s what Dick Morris is saying, according to Mickey Kaus, who is all over it, natch, with a link to Jossip, no less! (heads-up for those of you who consider Page Six too risque: this is really nasty snark).

Look, I’m no Hillary supporter, but I really hope we spend the 2008 campaign talking about more important matters than Ron Burkle. I agree that the ’90s were a good time (lord knows laughing about Monica’s blue dress was a lot more fun than worrying about Iran’s nuclear ambitions) but can we really afford to relive those days? I never bought the notion that 9/11 was going to bring about the end of irony, but I did harbor hopes that it would make it a lot harder to gin up frivolous political scandals. [emphasis added] Was I as naive as Graydon Carter?

You have got to be kidding me. In this Gotcha! culture?

Expect lots of juicy scandals (aka political theater). We’re in the Infotainment Age.
