How Come the Supermarket Tabloids Have Been So Quiet???
Noticed it for weeks in the checkout lane. They use to have Clinton, for example, on the covers every other week. Not a word about Kerry---I assumed they would start some slime stories. Nothing on Bush---but they never have. I assume they have been warned away and scared all these years by the Bush crime family; and, now, I wonder if they took a look at Teresa's money and her threats about anybody coming after her family and are scared to tangle with her. HOWEVER, I am wondering if the Kelley revelations are just going to be too tempting and end up all over the place with gossip stories breaking out over the next weeks?? If it does start hitting their covers, it will impact Bush like a brick. It's exactly the people who buy this stuff that Bush has bullshitted for years as they wave their flags and wear their crosses and their flag pins. God, I'm hoping.........

2. More seriously, I believe most are owned by Murdoch
but it is surprising they haven't been full of anti-Kerry stuff. I too am hoping the Kitty Kelley stuff makes a splash in that demographic group.

4. Probably because it's not juicy enough.
There hasn't been any stuff about illicit sex or aliens yet. When Kitty Kelley's book comes out, it will be interesting to see whether the tabloids, whose readers are mainly freepers, will mention any of that stuff.

6. They were Rah Rah Rah during Shock and Awe

They were going overboard!
Now they are very quiet.

Did see a story about the twins at the Rep. Convention.
Several nice pictues and then a picture of the Bar that Jenna went to after one of their silly parties.
