breakthrough!

Edwards screwed but didn’t impregnate.

Are we surprised? No—especially not by the weaselish statement he released.

One of his punishments is that despite that it’s the opening night of the Olympics and despite a shooting war between Russia and Georgia, CNN is playing this story to the hilt. Every commentator has looked or sounded like he/she wanted to take a shower after talking about this story.

Kaus is taking his laps.

Glenn Reynolds echoes my thoughts.

EDWARDS ADMITS THAT HE LIED ABOUT AFFAIR: But the real story is how the mainstream press, despite knowing or strongly suspecting that he was lying, covered for him.

There are two Americas — the real one, and the one the press tries to fob off on us.

True dat. But people seem to prefer storytelling to the truth, so the press has no real motivation to tell it like it really is. Oh well!
