4. TMZ
is only a tabloid site. I am not going to believe this until CNN or MSNBC confirms it.

7. LA Times says coma.
Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 05:12 PM by calimary
MSNBC not ready to confirm yet.

Good Lord, the L.A. bureau (Associated Press) must be a madhouse at the moment. Glad I retired from there... this would be an absolute pigfuck to cover.

5. Am angry that Farrah's life and death
will be overshadowed by that ghoul.

Am more angry at what is happening in Iran -- but who in the media will care about that now??

30. I guess you think I should be banned for disagreeing with you.
Hard to imagine anything more Limbaugh-like...so you better get onto the site owners and explain how I broke the rules. You do have some evidence of that, yes?
