We have all died and gone to Tabloid Hell.

I know, why don't we make the 2008 elections, officially, the Jerry Springer 2008 Elections?

We now have bowl games named after corpoprations, so why not elections named after talk show hosts, who specialize in giving all sorts of good Amurkin inbreds a nice public place to lose their last shred of human dignity.

Since we, as a nation, have no dignity left at all, why not just go all out.

Instead of debates, since we never really have debates anyway, why not wet tee-shirt contests between the primary candidates? Mud wrestling would be fun, to watch.

When it comes to the main event, lets get the candidates and their families on the Jerry Springer show and allow them to insult and whack each other until we are all content that they have been shamed enough to be our first family.

The news media and the press, in general. in this nation are, in large part, reponsible for the tabloid hell in which we find ourselves today.

The must be punished!

A 'family friend' confided that 'after their last fight over booze, [the president and first lady ] just stopped talking'period.'

I hate it when that happens.

Bill and Sen. Hillary Clinton, too. The New York Times recently put 2000 anonymously sourced words on its front page speculating about their marriage. Evidently, 'several prominent New York Democrats' pronounced themselves concerned about, get this, an earlier Globe photo depicting Bill leaving a Manhattan restaurant with a dozen people, among them a hot, blond Canadian politician. The Times thought that couldn't help but 'fuel coverage in the gossip pages.' Now you'd ordinarily think, 'hot, blond Canadian politician a contradiction in terms, like 'leggy basset hound' or 'worldchampion Chicago Cubs.' But the nation's crackerjack political press was serving notice: If Hillary runs for president, it'll make headlines any time Bill appears in the same time zone with an attractive woman. They'll be sniggering like Beavis and Butthead on 'Meet the Press' and 'Hardball.' Are they, like, doing it ? "
