is the media playing the Janet Jackson story to take away attention...
from the Democrats and WMDs issue?

It sounds kind of tin foil hattish, but it was really no big deal. Honestly, you could probably see more in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or Maxim. A really minor story comes out and all of a sudden no one's talking about WMDS/AWOL or the primary.

Anyone wondering now if Justin Timberlake is a BFEE operative?

2. The media knows
that the majority of people like tits and ass. If you can get celebrity tits and ass that's even better.

3. Not any more than usual
Same old crap. Bushco rapes and pillages our country and we get Kobe, Lacy and now booby-gate on the news.

You got to wonder about Frist and the ricin though. Thats a good diversion they pulled off.

Reality distorts my sense of television - Zippy the Pinhead
