Did Libby story get more traction from Paris Hilton Story
I think we would have all been outraged by the Libby story regardless. But it was sweet that Fox Noise ignored the real news for weeks so that it could vent it's spleen at Paris Hilton. For weeks leading up to the Libby comutation, Fox was outraged at the attempts of a stupid little girl to stay out of jail for violating the orders of traffic court. It was a delight to see the conservatives completely strip their gears to argue that a worldly political player should stay out of jail after being convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice.

Jail time was "excessive" for Libby.
Not for Tommy Chong or Martha Stewart.

Sheesh.

1. A LTTE in yesterday's paper
Hilton would have been better off if she outed a CIA agent. Lots of negative feedback about bush's latest display of conservative values.

2. NO........but they are spewing crap about Al Gore's son
over and over. CNN is going apecrap crazy. That's all they talked about. I will say the woman commentator named Chris this morning asked Gore about it, he explained that it was a personal matter that was being taken care of. And she moved right along, did not mention it again AND she kept calling him Mr. Vice President....
