Proving what a political junkie I am, I guess: Why did EVERYONE (the networks, the Yes network, the cable news channels) cover the Kobe Bryant non-event yesterday and no one is covering Gore’s ‘04 trial balloon at NYU live? Not that I think it is breaking news kinda stuff, but, like, it is August, and it’s not like they are covering anything much more interesting at the moment. The war bores them, unless it has to do with 16 words. Colin Powell rumors getting old. How many times can you rerun Leno?
